Prior to their eagerly awaited meeting this weekend against Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur has received a major injury boost as both Pedro Porro and Richarlison have been deemed fit for the pivotal encounter.
The development eases Spurs’ fears about Porro’s availability after his injury during the loss against Newcastle, as they were already dealing with the setback of Destiny Udogie’s season-ending injury earlier in the week.
Positive news was revealed yesterday by club insider Paul O’Keefe, who said that Pedro Porro and Richarlison, who has also been sidelined due to injury, are back in training.
The Spaniard and the Brazilian are both fit to play this weekend, according to Ange Postecoglou, who made the following announcement (via Football London):
“Pedro and Richy (Richarlison) both trained all week so they’ll both be available.” Richarlison, who had been in brilliant form prior to his injury and had scored nine goals in his last thirteen games, and Porro, who has been a key member of Postecoglou’s team all season, will both be available.
Tottenham is now in fifth place in the standings, six points behind Aston Villa in fourth place, but they still have two games remaining, so a victory over Arsenal is crucial.
