'Outstanding' Tottenham player now set to return from injury after undergoing treatment in homeland

Tottenham Hotspur are now expected to receive an injury boost following the latest international break.

The Lilywhites have had countless injury issues to deal with this season and it seems another one has cropped up recently.

However, there is a two week break before Premier League football picks back up again at the end of the month.

Emerson Royal injury news

According to journalist Tom Barclay, Emerson Royal has received treatment on a knee issue back in Brazil.

It is an issue which have been aggravated having initially caused him some pain around a year ago.

But it is claimed he has now received treatment which will make him available for the Premier League return after the international break.

He has not exactly been a regular under Ange Postecoglou, but the Australian did label him “outstanding” following a game earlier in the season.

Although the Brazilian is said to have been left in some pain through this knee issue, he still made the match day squad last time out.

The defeat to Fulham was one everyone at Spurs will want to forget in a hurry, but Royal did not make an appearance from the bench.

In fact, his last appearance came against Crystal Palace and it was in the absence of Pedro Porro through injury.

Royal has seemingly remained in high spirits despite a lack of game time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He has recently been speaking about the team spirit behind the scenes, but he did admit Cristian Romero can put in some hefty challenges in training.

“I’ve seen few people hit like him in my life. He almost breaks your leg, but he gets the ball and comes out clean,” he said.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the 25-year-old over the summer with Porro having claimed the spot in the straight XI.

The Spurs News has been told the club are looking to add a versatile full-back to their options this summer, as well.
