Tottenham Hotspur youngster Ryan Sessegnon has provided an update on his thigh injury as he looks to return to action this week for loan club Hoffenheim.
The 20-year-old moved to Germany on loan last summer with Jose Mourinho wanting him to further his experience of playing at left-back or at wing-back, with opportunities for minutes low at Spurs following the arrival of Sergio Reguilon from Real Madrid.
Sessegnon has taken to life on the continue, getting a real run of games going for the Bundesliga side, making 16 appearances for the German outfit, scoring twice and laying on two assists for team-mates.
However, a thigh injury then ruled him out of most of 12th-placed Hoffenheim's games in 2021, missing seven straight Bundesliga matches.
Although he missed this weekend's 2-2 draw at Borussia Dortmund, Sessegnon spoke about his progress on loan and his upcoming injury return.
"I'm learning more about myself as a person and as a player," he told Hoffenheim's social media channels.
"It's been a great opportunity. In one word, it's been eventful, because of course I was playing games regularly and I think in most games I was playing well as well, with a few games not so well.
"I think I was more consistently playing well though and then of course the injury happened and I've missed six games now."
On that thigh injury, Sessegnon added: "I'm progressing very well and I think the next time you guys should see me on the pitch will be maybe next week, hopefully in the Europa League."
