Ryan Sessegnon is a very talented young player and one that didn’t come cheap to the Lilywhites over the summer. The young teenager joined the North London side for a £25m fee over the summer (BBC), although he’s yet to play a minute of football.
Ryan Sessegnon and the perfect opportunity presented to him by Danny Rose for Everton clash.
Spurs defender Danny Rose won’t be able to face the Toffees after picking up his fifth booking of the season for a late tackle on Jordan Henderson.#THFC #COYShttps://t.co/DbRZzlnbIm

That’s mostly down to a muscle injury he’s been carrying since the start of the season, but going into the weekend’s clash with Liverpool the 19-year-old was not included in the club’s injury update yet he still failed to make the bench for the trip to Anfield.
Now, though, seeing as Danny Rose picked up a booking during that clash on Merseyside, he won’t be available for selection next weekend away at Everton. With that in mind, many fans will be keen to see Sessegnon make his debut, even if they’re not confident Mauricio Pochettino will throw him in.
You can see what they’ve had to say about Sessegnon here:
hasn’t even been on the bench yet …

We won’t see this guy start a game this season under Pochettetino he probably won’t even get more than 3mins per game the way he makes late subs

We all know he starts Davies and Sessegnon may or may not get about 3 mins to make an impact.

More likely scenario is that Poch will play Vorm at LB

Poch won’t pick him. He’ll get Son to play left back.

The fans are far from confident that Sessegnon will be given any game time this weekend, even if he’s the best available candidate to start at left-back in Rose’s absence.
