Tottenham injury update: Ben Davies, Maddison and Lo Celso latest news and return dates
Tottenham faces concerns over the fitness of Ben Davies and Giovani Lo Celso before their clash at Old Trafford this weekend.
After a successful FA Cup game against Burnley sans club captain Son Heung-min, Spurs brace for a challenging match against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.
Manager Ange Postecoglou aims to sustain their top-four aspirations and winning momentum. However, coping with AFCON and Asian Cup absences along with injuries poses a new challenge.
Recent positives include Ryan Sessegnon’s return after ten months and Micky van de Ven’s bench appearance since November. Rodrigo Bentancur led as captain amidst Son, James Maddison, and Cristian Romero’s absence.
Tottenham exhibited prowess with a full squad, winning eight of their initial ten league matches.
The medical team monitors Ben Davies, adapting well since van de Ven’s injury, but seemingly picked up a hamstring concern against Burnley. Giovani Lo Celso also finished the game with discomfort.
Injury status of Spurs players and potential return dates:
Alejo Veliz: Ankle/foot injury in the Bournemouth win. Doubtful for Friday night. Potential return: 02/03/2024.
Ivan Perisic: Out till summer 2024, won’t play this season.
Manor Solomon: Knee meniscus injury. Potential return: 31/01/2024.
James Maddison: Expected to return next month after an ankle injury against Chelsea.
Cristian Romero: Hamstring injury, out for four to five weeks.
Giovani Lo Celso: Knock in the last game, unlikely for the upcoming weekend.
Ben Davies: Hamstring injury, set for a few weeks’ absence as per the manager’s statement.
