What’s the latest Tottenham injury news?

Johnson was not alone in suffering an injury in Sunday’s match, as James Maddison was also forced off the field after making a challenge on Jorisginho. However, the Englishman was able to leave the field without needing assistance, suggesting that the injury was not too severe. Ivan Perisic, however, has been ruled out indefinitely due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and the Croatian international is now joining the list of players on the long-term absentee list. On September 15, it was reported that Gio Lo Celso was nearing a return from his thigh injury, following a session with the Socceroos. However, the plan is now to re-integrate Lo Celso into the squad.

 

Spurs manager Ange may be more concerned about the hamstring injury sustained by the Wales international against Arsenal, according to Football London, which could result in a six-week absence depending on the nature of the injury. It is believed that Johnson sustained only a tight strain, but scans are scheduled to be conducted this week to assess the condition.

 

Pochettino is likely to be optimistic that Johnson will be back in contention before the international break in October, and could potentially return to the starting line-up for the match against Luton Town, which is scheduled for October 7th. However, if the injury is more severe than initially feared, it is possible that the forward could not return until the end of the international break. In the worst case scenario, it is likely that he will not be available for selection until the away game against Manchester United, which is scheduled to take place in November.

Did Brennan Johnson play well against Arsenal?

After putting the Welshman in the starting line-up for the visit of the Emirates Stadium over the weekend, he has not had the best of times when it comes to front-of-the-net goals, missing two, which was the most of anyone on the field.

You could look at it as a good thing that the ex-Nottingham Forest striker was getting the ball into the right areas on Sunday, especially in what was such a high-tempo affair.

However, the A.F.C. manager will be hoping that he can step up and be a little more clinical from time to time.

Postecoglou, in turn, will hope the injury is minor and Johnson can move on to Spurs as soon as possible.
