Tottenham defender Ben Davies will recover from a suspected hamstring injury in north London rather than join his compatriots for Wales' Euro 2024 qualifiers against Croatia and Latvia
Tottenham left-back Ben Davies has withdrawn from the Wales squad for the March internationals. Davies was initially named vice-captain by Rob Page for his side's clashes against Croatia and Latvia, but the 29-year-old will no longer join up with the camp after picking up an injury in Spurs' 3-3 draw at Southampton on Saturday.
The upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers are set to come too soon for Davies, who was replaced in the squad by uncapped Stoke defender Morgan Fox. He will now spend the next fortnight recovering from the issue, with it remaining unclear whether he could be in contention to return for Spurs' next match against Everton at the start of April.
However, the injury concerns were the last thing on Conte's mind in his post-match press conference. After witnessing his side blow a 3-1 lead to the Premier League's bottom side, the Italian delivered a furious rant about the culture at Tottenham.
Conte was livid with his side's late collapse, and duly took aim at every facet associated with the club. This has further fuelled speculation suggesting Conte's contract, which was due to end this summer anyway, could be prematurely terminated and a new man could be in the north London hot seat for Davies' return to full fitness.
