Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Destiny Udogie is now back training with the squad and Richarlison is also on the verge of returning to action.
Postecoglou has been without several of his key players during pre-season so far but the last of the internationals have now returned to training.
Rodrigo Bentancur, Giovani Lo Celso, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven linked up with the squad on Tuesday as the Lilywhites step up their preparation ahead of the new Premier League season, which is now less than two weeks away.
Postecoglou has also been without both Udogie and Richarlsion so far this summer, with both players recovering from injuries they picked up towards the end of last campaign.
However, the Australian has now confirmed that the left-back is now fit while the Brazilian striker is expected to join the group in training this week ahead of the club’s final pre-season friendly against Bayern Munich.
Postecoglou told Tottenham’s official website: “We’ve still got two weeks (until the first game of the season). We’ll get some players back this week – obviously, the internationals will be back, Destiny (Udogie) is back training with us.
“Richarlison should be back in the week – so we’ll get some of our top-end players back into the group which I think will help. Once we get back we’ve got 10 to 12 days before our first game and we’ll make sure we are ready.”
Spurs Web Opinion
With Udogie and Richarlison both coming off a relatively long injury lay-off, one would expect the pair to take a few weeks to reach peak fitness and get fully up to speed.
One would not be surprised if neither player started Spurs’ Premier League opener against Leicester City.
