He’ll be available soon.
According to sources, a member of Ange Postecoglou‘s squad will return in December after returning to light training at Tottenham.
Postecoglou’s Spurs injury woes
Spurs‘ lack of options behind their conventional starting eleven was exposed a fortnight ago when both James Maddison and Micky van de Ven were injured.
Maddison and van de Ven were carried off against Chelsea, with Maddison sustaining ankle ligament damage and van de Ven injuring his hamstring. The diagnosis for both men was an absence until after the new year, leaving Postecoglou with two players who are critical to his Spurs system.
Maddison‘s creativity in the midfield, combined with van de Ven‘s quickness alongside Cristian Romero, allows Spurs to prosper with Postecoglou‘s daring high line.
They join Ivan Perisic, who is anticipated to miss the majority of the Premier League season due to an ACL injury, and fellow summer signing Manor Solomon on the injured list.
Another player who is now out is left-back Ryan Sessegnon, who has yet to play under Postecoglou since the Australian took over in June.
Sessegnon, who was signed by Mauricio Pochettino in 2019, has been plagued by injuries throughout his Tottenham career, and it will be interesting to see if he can finally force his way into Postecoglou‘s plans.
When the Englishman returns, he will face up against the in-form Destiny Udogie at left-back, but it appears that matchup might take place very soon.
Sessegnon is slated to return in December.
According to The Evening Standard, the former Fulham player might return to the Spurs squad next month. Indeed, Sessegnon is set to return from injury in December after returning to light training, after undergoing hamstring surgery during the summer.
We believe he has a future at Spurs despite his youth, and there are few better managers to foster his growth than Postecoglou.
Tottenham‘s manager has showed a lot of faith in his young players since joining from Celtic, and he might give Sessegnon another chance to prove himself. Fitness concerns are a major cause of criticism, but the defender has shown quality on numerous occasions. Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan told Football Insider that the “outstanding” ace might become a £50 million player.
“I saw a lot of him at Fulham and he was outstanding for them, probably the best player in the Championship a few years ago,” he was quoted as saying in 2020.
“He’s young, and time is on his side.” I anticipated him to make an immediate impact at Spurs, but this is common with young players, especially when fighting against top internationals.
“There’s no doubt he’s an outstanding player once he gets a run of matches under his belt and gains confidence.” I believe he is a £50 million player in the making, as do Spurs and Mourinho.”
