Tottenham are looking forward to having some injured players back ahead of their crunch FA Cup game against Pep Guardiola‘s Manchester City next weekend. The Lilywhites picked up a point against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United last weekend despite missing key players to injury, the AFCON and Asian Cup.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has been brilliant since he packed into his new house in north London and he’s completely transformed the style of play from playing on the counter-attack under Antonio Conte to a more brave and much more daring style where they risk it by playing from the back but often get the rewarded by cutting teams open.
They will take on Manchester City next in the FA Cup with the north London club holding an impressive five wins against Pep Guardiola’s side at home, but this will test them given City are just picking up form and have the mercurial Kevin De Bruyne back fit after his hamstring troubles.
Against United at the weekend, Spurs had the paring of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven back for the first time since November last year, and the difference that made was crystal clear with the duo being the backbone on which the strong start to the season was built.
James Maddison who was the creative brain that engineered the 8 wins from the first 10 league games has also been battling an ankle problem since November and Manor Solomon hasn’t been able to train on the grass in the last three months.
The north London club will hope to recover some of the players back. So with that in mind, here is the list of injured stars and their potential return dates.
