Why Tottenham duo Jamie Donley and Will Lankshear are not starting for Oxford United
Tottenham Hotspur youngsters Will Lankshear and Jamie Donley are continuing their development away from north London, but neither are currently starting for Oxford United.
While several youngsters earned moves away from Tottenham Hotspur during the winter window, others have long been sent out on loan.
Will Lankshear is one such player, having been loaned away from Tottenham since the summer window, following six months at West Brom last season.
The forward has been plying his trade in the Championship with Oxford United, and now we have decided to see how he has been faring during his spell.
How Tottenham loanee Will Lankshear is doing at Oxford United
So far, since moving to the Championship, Lankshear has managed six goals for Oxford United from 20 starts.
However, in recent weeks, the forward has found himself on the bench after a run of goalless draws for Oxford.
On Saturday, he was introduced for the final 35 minutes of the 2-0 home defeat to Birmingham City but was unable to affect the outcome.
The Tottenham forward will now be aiming to get his place back in the starting XI for the Championship side, who are currently in the relegation places.
How Jamie Donley is progressing at Spurs loan club
Alongside him at Oxford United is Jamie Donley, who was recalled from his loan spell at Stoke City during the winter window following a disappointing period.
He provided an assist on his Stoke debut in their opening-day 3-1 win over Derby County, but a lack of game time saw him depart the Potters after making six appearances in all competitions – four in the league and two in the Carabao Cup.
Since moving to Oxford United, Donley has been unable to feature after a heavy aerial collision on his debut in the FA Cup earlier this month left him briefly knocked out and suffering injuries to his neck, shoulder and ribs.
At the moment, the Tottenham 21-year-old is still recovering from the aftermath, with the shoulder injury in particular, and is yet to return to action.
