Double dose of good news as Tottenham duo eye return for high-stakes NLD Clash vs Arsenal
Tottenham Hotspur return to action at the weekend as they host Arsenal in a highly anticipated North London Derby, and while the club has lost Destiny Udogie to injury, there are possibilities that Ange can welcome two starts back into the fold.
Destiny Udogie has been ruled out of the season after undergoing an unspecified surgery, which comes as a massive blow to the North Londoners. He has played an integral role in the Spurs race for a traditional top-four finish this season, with three assists while scoring two goals in 30 appearances across all competitions in the ongoing campaign.
As Tottenham beacons his loss, the club are set to be handed an injury boost as the duo of Richarlison and Pedro Porro are in line to return for the Lilywhites against Arsenal this weekend, per The Standard.
Richarlison and Porro set for injury return
Richarlison has been a formidable presence for Tottenham Hotspur since Ange Postecoglou assumed managerial duties last summer. His potential return to the squad could be pivotal as the club enters the final stretch of the season.
The Brazilian forward not only poses a physical threat but also demonstrates an intuitive sense of positioning on the field. If he can rediscover the form he displayed at the start of the season, Tottenham stands a strong chance of overtaking Aston Villa and securing a coveted top-four finish in the Premier League.
Alongside Richy, having Pedro Porro back provides that balance between attack and defence on the right flank.
