Kieran Trippier has hit out at former club Tottenham, saying they forced him to delay a needed groin surgery last season.
Trippier struggled with form and injuries during the 2018-19 campaign - his final season with the north London outfit.
The England international joined Atletico Madrid last summer in a £20 million ($25m) deal and has made 26 appearances for the La Liga outfit this season.
