Gazzetta dello Sport have revealed that Harry Winks is currently training on his own at Sampdoria as the on-loan Tottenham man continues to work towards full fitness (print edition 24/9/22).
Winks completed a loan move to Sampdoria in the final days of the summer transfer window, with the Serie A club thought to have an option to make the deal permanent for €25m (£21.8m).
However, the midfielder is yet to kick a ball for the Italian club in competitive action, with reports over recent weeks indicating that he is recovering from an ankle injury (CalcioMercato).
Sampdoria manager Marco Giampaolo admitted last week that he has no idea when Winks will be back to full fitness (Fabrizio Romano).
Gazzetta have claimed that although the Spurs academy graduate is yet to train with his teammates, he has now started doing some individual work on the training pitch.
The report describes Winks’ current fitness levels as still being ‘suboptimal’ and explain that the ankle injury has been a recurring problem for the player over the last few years since he first sustained the injury in 2017.
However, Gazzetta adds that there is some optimism at Sampdoria that the midfielder could have a chance of making the bench for the clash against Monza on Sunday.
Spurs Web Opinion
Perhaps the ankle injury that is being discussed in the report, which Winks allegedly first picked up in 2017, might have played a part in his decline at Spurs, given that the midfielder is reliant on his burst of pace.
However, having said that, he has had enough time to adapt his game and did put in some impressive performances after that point for Spurs, particularly against Real Madrid in 2018 and in our Champions League run in the subsequent season.
