Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has a number of players on their way back to be fit for his side in the weeks ahead.

The Australian has enjoyed a great start to life at the north London club, currently unbeaten in fourth place in the Premier League after six matches. Spurs did exit the Carabao Cup with a much-changed team at Fulham but Sunday’s performance in the North London Derby has continued the feeling of optimism around the club.

Some players who have been out of action or have been injury scares in recent days are desperate to play their part in the Postecoglou revolution.

Here is the latest on all of Tottenham’s injury news:

James Maddison

Everyone was startled when the 26-year-old midfielder collapsed to the ground holding his knee during the second half of the North London Derby. Maddison appeared to be recovering well after the injury at first, continuing to play for another five minutes or so and appearing to be in good condition as he handled his post-game media responsibilities.

The England international, who has been battling a number of injuries lately, has been closely watched this week, but so far, optimism has persisted regarding his chances of continuing his excellent form this season when Liverpool visit town on Saturday.

Brennan Johnson

He pulled up gripping his left leg in the 62nd minute, giving the crowd another scare from the Sunday derby. We understand that rather than being a more significant problem for Johnson, it was initially thought to be a tight hamstring.

The hamstring was treated on Monday morning and then underwent a precautionary scan later in the week to ensure there was no underlying problem. Since then, it has been exercising on the grass at Hotspur Way.

Bryan Gil

The 22-year-old required groin surgery in August and has yet to play a game under the Postecoglou era.

Gil is anticipated to resume his reintegration into first team life and be available for selection shortly after stepping up his recuperation.

Rodrigo Bentancur

The Uruguayan is nearing the conclusion of his recuperation from a cruciate ligament injury and has been gradually increasing his participation in first team training sessions.

Bentancur has pushed for more and more training time, according to Postecoglou, but at that time, he was only taking part in session warm-ups to get him started.

He appears to have participated in some attacking drills in recent training videos. Postecoglou said that the midfielder would likely return in November as Spurs make sure he is absolutely risk-free to play again. It will take time for him to fully recover after a lengthy absence, but Bentancur will be expecting to play sooner than Postecoglou predicted.

Ryan Sessegnon

Another player who has yet to play under Postecoglou after needing surgery that is intended to end his hamstring pain that has plagued him for the past few years.

According to reports, the 23-year-old has started light training again in preparation for a comeback to running. To make sure Sessegnon’s hamstring nightmare is behind him, Tottenham’s staff is being cautious with him. A return to full training is anticipated to be a few weeks away.
