Report: Returning Spurs player is expected to be named on bench vs Luton
The Athletic have revealed that Bryan Gil is expected to be named on the bench for Tottenham’s clash against Luton Town on Saturday.
The injury list has grown considerably for Spurs over the last week, with the likes of Rodgiro Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso being joined recently on the treatment table by Ivan Perisic, Brennan Johnson and Manor Solomon.
The Athletic have now backed up what we have already heard from other sources about Johnson’s injury, explaining that the winger’s issue is not as serious as some others’.
They claim that the club are hopeful that the 22-year-old will be back for the clash against Fulham on October 23.
Bryan Gil expected to return to Spurs match squad
The outlet also provides some positive news on Gil, stating that the Spaniard is expected to be part of the matchday squad at Kenilworth Road.
The winger has been out with a groin injury since the start of pre-season but with the attackers currently missing for Tottenham, it looks like the former Sevilla man could be in line for his first appearance of the season on Saturday.

If Gil is not fit enough to make the bench, Postecoglou would have to turn to youngsters like Alejo Veliz and Jamie Donley on the bench. With neither Maddison nor Son now seemingly 100 per cent, we are now dangerously short of attacking options at the moment.
