Antonio Conte is unsure whether Sergio Reguilon will play for Tottenham again this season due to his current groin injury. Getting a regular run in the team in Ryan Sessegnon's absence last month, the Spaniard then dropped out of the XI against Brentford through injury.
Reguilon was on the bench for the 0-0 draw at Brentford Community Stadium but played no part in the contest, before then missing out altogether last Sunday for the 3-1 win over Leicester City. With just over two weeks until the current campaign comes to an end, Conte has revealed that his player has yet to return to training.
"He is not available. He hasn't had a training session with us. He is not available," said the Italian in his pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool. "I honestly don't know, there are only two weeks before the end of the season, whether it is possible for him to come back."

Set to come up against title contenders Liverpool this weekend, Tottenham are going to have to be at their very best if they are to leave Anfield with points in the bag. Conte, however, has stated that his team have prepared well for the game and that he has told his players "not to be scared of the pressure".
"We are trying to have a good idea. I hope not the same idea as Liverpool. We know that in this moment it is very difficult to play against Liverpool because they are in really good form and I watched the game against Villarreal and it was incredible the composure and calm, they faced a difficult situation," he said.
"After the first half they were 2-0 down and the atmosphere was very difficult for Liverpool. I saw great composure and calm from them, now they know they are strong, they are one of the best teams in the world with Manchester City, they are very good. At the same time it will be a good game for us.
"We prepared the game very well and I think we need to be very good without the ball to be good defensively, but if we want to win we have to be very good with the ball. I said this to my players, we need to play a good game and be brave when we have the ball, don't be scared for all the pressure and to find the solution.
"We have improved a lot. We can go there to play and try to get three points. We are in this race for a place in the Champions League and for this reason we need to get points in every game. Every game is a big chance for us to improve the table. In this game we have to try and beat Liverpool."
