Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has said that Destiny Udogie would be available for tonight’s match against Fulham.
Prior to his team’s Carabao Cup match at Craven Cottage, the Australian manager spoke to the official website of Tottenham.
With a 2-0 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday, Postecoglou extended his impressive start in North London.Along with Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, and Pape Matar Sarr all made appearances.
On Saturday, Udogie provided the assist for Dejan Kulusevski’s second goal of the game for Tottenham and put on yet another encouraging performance.In the 82nd minute, the 20-year-old hobbled off the pitch and was replaced by Ben Davies. Prior to the match against Fulham, Postecoglou has stated that Udogie is healthy and prepared to play.

After the defender suffered an injury against the Cherries, Postecoglou provided an update on Udogie’s health to Tottenham’s media staff.According to what I understand, I think he simply kicked the ground, the Spurs manager stated.He didn’t want to leave the pitch, but due to the current set of rules, where they go off for 30 seconds, I decided Ben should come on to keep the game moving forward for us. He’s fine, I’m just talking to him right now.
With his early-season performances, Udogie has surprised many after being acquired by Spurs for £20 million last summer.The Italian fullback performed admirably as a left wing-back during his season-long loan at Udinese.Under Postecoglou, it wasn’t certain how he’d adjust to playing in a back four, but so far, he’s fit in perfectly.
The youthful player, who has started every game this season, may receive a break for tonight’s trip to Fulham.But he is already playing a crucial role in this Spurs team that has a fresh look, and it’s good news for the team that he is alright after being replaced against Bournemouth.
