Latest Tottenham injury news as five miss Fulham with Brennan Johnson and Son Heung-Min update
Tottenham injury news as Brennan Johnson gets major boost ahead of Fulham with Ange Postecoglou advantage
Tottenham, led by Ange Postecoglou, was the first team to compete in the most recent round of Premier League games and will be the final team to play the following weekend. It might be very important for Ange Postecoglou and his team to have the extra days off.
Postecoglou and his team have been allowed to enjoy their position at the top of the Premier League table because of the spirited 1-0 victory against Luton before the fortnight of disruption, but they might find themselves back down in fourth place by the time their match against Fulham on Monday begins.
However, the additional time between games does allow returning foreign players to have more recovery time. In addition, Cristian Romero’s teammate Alexis Mac Allister will be playing for Liverpool against Everton on Saturday, just three days before the early kickoff. On Wednesday morning, Cristian Romero will be playing for Argentina.
With a long flight home and a lot of reliance on both players, Postecoglou will be able to prepare for a more healthy and rested South American star than Jurgen Klopp. For Richarlison, the same is true. The extra two days of recuperation time for him might be priceless as he participated in Brazil’s 1-1 draw with Venezuela on Friday and will be similarly active on Wednesday morning before a long travel home.
Others in the team simply have more time to recover from aches and pains and injuries they have sustained recently.Since moving from Nottingham Forest to Tottenham on deadline day, Brennan Johnson has only appeared in two games.Although Rob Page’s Wales team left him out for the international break, he has had trouble staying healthy and injury-free. He may now be in line to face Fulham.
“The contact with Tottenham has been excellent. Prior to his team’s Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Croatia and Armenia, Page stressed the importance of respect between all parties. Working collaboratively is key since both managers want a talented player who fits their team. I won’t push him to leave since doing so would put his safety and health at danger and allow us to play a game with him.
“I wouldn’t act that way. They are aware of the significance of our games, though. Although we’ve had wonderful chats with them, his injury will eventually determine whether or not they can get together.
Only long-term injuries remain a concern for the Australian manager elsewhere. All but Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Bryan Gil are gone. Due to the Spaniard’s availability for selection once more, Bentancur and Gil are the ones who are the closest to making a comeback.
Although Bentancur won’t likely return until the middle of November, when the next international break will take place, his return will give his head coach a crucial boost. Postecoglou has fortunately not had to deal with any fresh concerns that emerged over the break.
Son Heung-Min received a rest for South Korea in their victory over Tunisia last week despite not playing at 100% before his time away. Son, who is now playing for his country and is managed by former Tottenham striker Jurgen Klinsmann, is scheduled to play against Vietnam on Tuesday, but given that it is only a friendly, he might also get a smaller role.
The first half of England’s victory over Australia featured James Maddison, who was then substituted. Fortunately, he is already in London and has already been practicing at Tottenham as part of the preparations with the Three Lions for this game. He may find himself in action for Gareth Southgate’s team for the more crucial Euro 2024 qualifying match against Italy on Tuesday.
Postecoglou will undoubtedly see a slight advantage with less travel on his plate in this situation.
