Ange Postecoglou has revealed that two Tottenham players are still injured and will miss Saturday’s pre-season friendly against Vissel Kobe, although Ben Davies has returned to training.
Tottenham’s preseason tour.
Tottenham Hotspur will begin their pre-season tour of Asia with a game against Vissel Kobe in Japan on Saturday, before heading to South Korea to face Team K-League and Bayern Munich.
So far, the Lilywhites have had a successful summer, with victories over Cambridge United, Hearts, and QPR, as well as a number of strong displays from academy players such as Will Lankshear and Mikey Moore.
Tottenham fans will be eager to see more of new recruits Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall against Vissel Kobe, as both teens impressed in their last two appearances.
Destiny Udogie and Richarlison are still out injured.
Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Destiny Udogie and Richarlison will miss the match against Vissel Kobe because they “aren’t quite ready to play” (Football London).
However, the fact that Postecoglou included both players in his pre-season trip suggests that they are close to returning to Tottenham.
The Spurs manager did provide some good news, announcing that Ben Davies has returned to training, and the Welshman might face Vissel Kobe on Saturday.
Spurs Website Opinion:
Spurs appear to be in a decent position with injuries moving into the new season.
Udogie and Richarlison should return in the coming weeks, leaving Postecoglou with a fully healthy squad aside from long-term absentee Fraser Forster.
