Ryan Sessegnon's summer spent in Portugal with a dedicated conditioning coach was to keep up with Antonio Conte's intense regime at Tottenham.
The England Under-21 international - set to feature against Italy in today's friendly - has been plagued by hamstring injuries since joining Spurs three years ago.
But he has enjoyed a resurgence under the Italian and puts that down to a fortnight in the Algarve with Matchroom Boxing's Dan Lawrence, time devoted to strengthening his core and shaping himself to fit in Conte's energy-driven system.
'It was to make my body more robust,' he said.
