The Daily Mail have revealed that Ange Postecoglou has not yet made a decision on whether Ryan Sessegnon will be part of his plans.
It was announced on Tuesday that Sessegnon successfully had surgery on a hamstring injury that he had picked up during pre-season.

Alasdair Gold explained that the 23-year-old had been doing everything to avoid going under the knife but it eventually proved necessary.
Hopes of a Sessegnon transfer have been ended
The Mail have now explained that the hamstring injury has ‘dashed the hopes’ of a number of Premier League clubs who were vying for Sessegnon’s signature this summer.
The report claims that Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Fulham all had their eyes on the left-back but their pursuits of the player have now ended as he is now expected to be sidelined until after the transfer window shuts.
It is revealed that Sessegnon also has admirers around Europe, including Marseille and Benfica, and that Postecolgou is yet to decide if the defender has a future at the club.
This latest news is said to have come as a blow to the Australian, who was hoping to evaluate the former Fulham man over the course of pre-season.

I do not see Sessegnon as a good fit for the inverted full-back role. The likelihood is that Postecoglou would have wanted to offload the 23-year-old, and let Ben Davies compete with Destiny Udogie for the left-back slot next season.
