Tottenham have been handed a timely fitness boost, with Lucas Bergvall back in training and fresh updates emerging on James Maddison’s recovery.
Cristian Romero was also spotted training with the first team after his recent head injury against Atletico Madrid, providing another lift for the squad. Adding to the positives, Destiny Udogie has returned to the training pitch after spending the last five weeks sidelined with a hamstring problem. Igor Tudor will be hopeful all three can feature in the upcoming clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Romero will still need to pass concussion checks before kickoff following his late collision with Joao Palhinha at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Both players were forced off before full-time and missed Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield.
Palhinha did not take part in full training on Tuesday, instead working individually alongside long-term absentee James Maddison, whose return to light training is a significant boost. The midfielder has not featured this season due to an ACL injury suffered in pre-season, but his presence on the grass raises hopes of a return before the campaign ends.
Conor Gallagher was absent from training once again, having missed the Liverpool match through illness, and he appears to still be recovering.
Despite the encouraging returns, Tottenham continue to deal with several injuries, with Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski, Joao Palhinha, and James Maddison all still unavailable.
