‘Missed it a lot’ – Spurs star reacts after returning from long injury layoff

Lucas Moura has taken to social media to express his delight at returning to competitive action in Tottenham’s 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.

Moura had not featured for Spurs since the 2-2 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the middle of August, with a calf injury keeping the Brazilian out of action.

The winger’s absence has been particularly felt over the last few weeks after Dejan Kulusevski also picked up an injury during the international break which has kept him out of action ever since.

This meant that over the last few games, Antonio Conte often did not have any attacking player to turn to on the bench apart from Bryan Gil.

However, the Spurs boss confirmed ahead of the clash on Wednesday that both Moura and Kulusevski had started training with the squad (Football.London).

While the Swede missed out on the matchday squad against Frankfurt, the former Paris Saint-Germain star was named on the bench and he came on in the 86th minute in place of Son Heung-min for a cameo.

Here’s what Moura posted on Instagram following his comeback:

Spurs Web Opinion

With Moura and Kulusevski now both back fit, suddenly our forward options look a lot more formidable as Conte now has options to turn to on the bench. Hopefully, all our key players stay fit until the World Cup and we have a strong end to this part of the season.
