Tottenham could have done without the international break this time round, specifically because of the way they lost their last game.
While they’re recovering from the Brighton defeat, they are also having to deal with criticism from outside the club while looking at their list of injured key players.
However, three of their current absentees may be set for a return to the pitch earlier than expected.
Tottenham insider Paul O Keefe provides positive injury updates for Richarlison, Son Heung-min, and Wilson Odobert
Tottenham insider Paul O Keefe recently provided a positive injury update regarding Tottenham forwards Richarlison, Son Heung-Min, and Wilson Odobert, hinting at early returns for all three of them.
“Some positive injury news for a change. Tottenham are hopeful that Richarlison & Son will take full part in training with the squad next week and be in contention for West Ham. There’s even a hope Wilson Odobert could join in training.”
O Keefe via his X (formerly Twitter) account.
The Spurs captain picked up a hamstring injury during his side’s Europa League opener against Qarabağ.
The Brazil international, on the other hand, has been nursing one injury or other for months now, currently recovering from a calf problem that has sidelined him since the start of last month.
Odobert, meanwhile, has been off the pitch ever since sustaining a hamstring injury early in Spurs’ opening Carabao Cup game against Coventry City last month.
On the other side of the ongoing international break, Spurs welcome West Ham at home for their next Premier League encounter.
The sooner the better
Spurs are not going to change their tactics, but they need a source of refreshment from somewhere, which makes having options at their disposal in terms of players even more crucial.
Hence, the return of the aforementioned forward trio is absolutely imperative for them, in order to maintain a line of fresh legs from players keen to make their mark.
Of course, Spurs need to make sure they don’t rush them back too early, but as soon as they can field them again, the better.
