Latest Tottenham injury news as nine miss Wolves with fresh James Maddison and Van de Ven update
Following Gareth Southgate’s problems, Tottenham is juggling bans and fitness concerns in front of their match against Wolves. James Madison’s report from England
An update on James Maddison’s health was sent to Tottenham after he left the game against Chelsea before halftime due to injury. Ange Postecoglou suffered two severe blows in the same minute, while Micky van de Ven was also taken out prior to halftime.
It left the boss with just 10 men and without two of his most crucial players, before Destiny Udogie’s red card worsened the position early in the second half.It is now Postecoglou’s task to strike a balance between suspension and fitness for one more game prior to the international break.
Following the international break, Spurs’ roster will be reduced for a two-week period as they prepare to play Wolves at Molineux on Saturday at an early kickoff. Even though Maddison had a knock on Monday, Gareth Southgate has still summoned him up and he is expected to play for England.
Following the names of Callum Wilson, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka, Maddison was by no means the only Three Lions player to be called up with concerns. “There are a few of those that we might lose tomorrow after a scan today,” the manager stated on Thursday.
“I’m not entirely sure who will be accessible. When you consider that every club is naturally sensitive to information and you are attempting to put everything together, you would be shocked at how difficult it is to choose a team.
Therefore, there are different degrees of uncertainty in my mind about whether or not every member of that squad will be present on Sunday night when they report for duty. Callum Wilson is without a doubt the most doubtful of the group in this regard, but I have a positive feeling about the others as well since they all want to be a part of the team.
Given that Maddison’s injury may not be as severe as initially believed, this is definitely excellent news for the Spurs. Following the loss, Postecoglou had stated, “He [Maddison] got a knock on the ankle.” “One man had already been lost to us. At that moment, a few adjustments seemed reasonable.”
There is some positive news about Van de Ven: he will not be participating for the Netherlands or against Wolves. Although he did not participate in any of the sessions, it is known that the 22-year-old will not need surgery to repair his hamstring. On Wednesday, he was spotted at the club’s training facility wearing his training gear in the gym.
Upon learning that his star defender would likely miss 12 games and three months with Wolfsburg less than a year ago, Postecoglou was instantly concerned about his player. This is now the second time in his brief career that a hamstring injury in particular is expected to keep him out. Nonetheless, football.london is aware that the player’s recuperation schedule is still unknown.
With early optimism that he may heal under the club’s own medical team, he is scheduled to go through additional evaluations at Hotspur Way. Although it may not have been as horrible as it could have been, the vacation is still expected to be lengthy.
Previously After the club revealed that Richarlison underwent pelvic surgery, the player—who started the game on the bench—will now need to miss many weeks of action. After the game, he acknowledged that he had been experiencing pain in that area. “It was a classic game, so of course I expected to play today,” he said to ESPN on Monday. “I was informed yesterday that I would not be playing, but that is a necessary part of football.
“You may question any player, and he will be ready, about course selection and call-up. I knew it was coming, of course, but I also sensed that it was time for a break.
As you can see, I haven’t had an easy time these past several months. In addition, I have been experiencing health issues. I believe I have previously discussed this with the physicians, and I will shortly have open surgery. I haven’t looked for myself for the past eight months while struggling and glancing at the team and club. Take a pause and rest, I believe the moment has arrived. I will act in my own best interest shortly; let’s see how the next few days go.”
We can confirm that Richarlison had groin surgery today, according to the club statement. Prior to returning to training in the upcoming weeks, the Brazil international will immediately begin his recuperation under the care of our medical experts. Richy, I hope you get better soon.
Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic are out due to long-term ailments, while Ryan Sessegnon is still out of the defense.Ben Davies appears to be the best option to replace Udogie on the left, despite his own absence in recent weeks. As he made his way off the bench in a high-stress match, Rodrigo Bentancur gained crucial playing time and advanced in his recuperation process.
Wolves will raise new concerns about the depth and mindset of the entire team, albeit Postecoglou’s issues are still getting worse.
