From the source

Unfortunately, Destiny Udogie had to miss another important game for Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, though Spurs were able to beat Chelsea convincingly anyway, holding a 2-0 clean sheet victory.

Andy Robertson started in his stead at left back, just as he did the game before in a 3-1 win over Coventry. The reality, though, is that while Robbo was not terrible in either game, he was not a reason why Spurs won either.

He is a veteran leader and backup but struggles to actually push the ball forward anymore at his age and is liable to getting toasted defensively by better players and athletes on the wings.
