Latest Tottenham injury news with three doubts for Fulham amid Rodrigo Bentancur and Son update

Spurs injury updates as Before Monday’s London derby between Fulham and Ange Postecoglou, the coach gives an update on a number of his players.

Several important players for Tottenham Hotspur may be available for Monday night’s Premier League match against Fulham. With a win over their London rivals, Spurs will want to increase their lead at the top of the league.

After a brilliant start to the 2023–24 season, the Lilywhites are now tied for the top spot in the league with Arsenal. Postecoglou’s team will have to play catch-up on Monday as their competitors all play before them after the second international break.

During the international break, several injury concerns surfaced, including concerns about Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min. It wasn’t until Argentina’s triumph over Peru was halfway gone that Romero was forced off the field due to a swollen right ankle.

Son was shown hobbling during South Korea’s 6-0 victory over Vietnam. Luckily for Spurs, Fulham doesn’t seem to be having any issues with either of these issues. Postecoglou remarked, “It’s been a pretty positive international break for us.”

“There don’t seem to be any major fitness-related concerns with the men since everyone is kind of back and the medical reports are good. In addition, we had a pair of senior debuts, with Micky and Destiny earning some experience in international competition. The respite was beneficial.”

Better news still: it seems like Bryan Gil, Brennan Johnson, and Rodrigo Bentancur may soon be making a comeback. Giovanni Lo Celso, who played in Argentina’s World Cup qualification victories against Peru and Paraguay, may potentially make a comeback.

“Gio Lo Celso played for Argentina as well which was great, so those guys all came through it well,” Postecoglou continued. “With the guys who have remained beside Bentancur, Gil, Brennan [Johnson] has had a good, solid couple of weeks of training, which is good for him.”

“Everyone is OK. We benefit from Monday night in that regard. The foreign players should all be ready, and in the next days, we’ll see how Brennan does.”

Postecoglou stated that Bentancur will not play against Marco Silva’s team. “No, on Monday he will not be in the squad. He’s missed a lot of football, so we’ll take our time with him,” the manager remarked. “We’ll handle him with caution. He’s kind of training now, so he’s engaged throughout the entire session.

He has adjusted to training gradually over the past month and has done so fairly successfully. He is currently in full training. Although he has missed a significant amount of football, we should be aware of this. However, I believe that when he practices with the first team more over the coming weeks, we’ll be able to select our moment. He’s looking terrific in training, and we’re excited to get him back after having him here for a few weeks to help him fully integrate with the other guys.”
