Tottenham injury news, including the most recent updates on Ange Postecoglou’s squad ahead of Monday’s match against Fulham.
Ange Postecoglou has had two more days to work with his Tottenham players following the international break, and he isn’t about to waste it. With a slew of South American talents returning to Tottenham Hotspur Spurs hold a significant advantage with fewer than three full days till the Premier League resumes.
Although some of that comes at the expense of having to play against them on Friday with less rest, given the squad’s relative lack of depth compared to some of their top four and current title contenders, it is a minor benefit that they will not want to give up. Only a win against London rivals Fulham will see Postecoglou’s side return to the top of the table as outright leaders, and they may be five points clear before any of their nearest competitors play again.
That is getting ahead of ourselves, and Spurs have the opportunity to respond to Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool in this match, when they host Fulham on Monday. Things are in order now that we have a couple extra days to work. “It’s been a pretty positive international break for us,” said the CEO.
“In terms of availability, I’ll start with the international players.” Everyone is kind of back, and medical reports appear to be good, so there are no significant fitness worries around the men.” Given the group’s existing long-term injuries, this is a significant increase. Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic are still out and will be for some time, while Ryan Sessegnon is also out.
This has created a large hole in the squad’s wide attacking places, but thankfully, things haven’t gotten any worse during the last two weeks. “With Brennan [Johnson] he’s has had a good, solid couple of weeks of training which is good for him with the guys who have been left alongside [Rodrigo] Bentancur, [Bryan] Gil,” Postecoglou said. “They’re all fine. In that regard, Monday night is beneficial. All of the international players should be available, and we’ll see how Brennan does in the next days.”
Johnson has only appeared twice since joining Spurs on deadline day from Nottingham Forest. Arriving with a knock and battling to regain fitness, not being selected for Wales’ most recent team has only aided the 22-year-old, and he is now back in contention to play.
