Alasdair Gold provides injury update on nine Tottenham players
Football London’s Alasdair Gold has provided an injury update on nine different Tottenham players ahead of the return to Premier League action on Boxing Day vs Brentford.
Gold reported that Rodrigo Bentancur picked up a ‘small tear to his adductor muscle in his right leg’ on duty for Uruguay at the World Cup, but there is hope he could be in contention to make a return on New Year’s Day against Aston Villa. The midfielder is banned for the Boxing Day game either way.
Ben Davies is said to be a ‘doubt’ for the game against Brentford after picking up an injury to his oblique muscle on November 29th, which can be up to a four-week injury.
Richarlison returned to Hotspur Way for a scan yesterday after picking up a hamstring injury in a warm-up for Brazil, even though he went on to play 84 minutes. Spurs are now waiting for the results to see what the damage is.
Heung-min Son is available to play for Spurs from Boxing Day onwards, but his fractured eye is still healing so he will continue to wear the face mask.
Ryan Sessegnon should be in contention for the Brentford game after starting outdoor training again, following a suspected hamstring injury.
Finally, the four absent players from the Motherwell friendly, Emerson Royal, Lucas Moura, Clement Lenglet, and Fraser Forster were reportedly left out as a precaution and Spurs will hope the issues do not get worse.
Spurs Web Opinion:
It’s ironic that Spurs have somehow picked up more knocks from the players staying at home than the ones competing at the World Cup. I suspect reinforcements will be needed in January if some of the injuries are weeks or months long.
