The international break is in full swing and Tottenham Hotspur have the opportunity to take stock and prepare ahead of their return to action late next week.
Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has a fair bit of work to do after their disastrous defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.
Tottenham led 2-0 at the break, only to capitulate en route to a shock 3-2 defeat at the Amex Stadium.
The Spurs boss will be eager to put things right in time for the Premier League meeting with West Ham on Saturday 19 October.
Tottenham have now been handed a “positive” injury update ahead of the 12:30pm kick-off at N17, according to Paul O’Keefe.
Son Heung-min, Richarlison and Wilson Odobert could be back in Tottenham training by next week
O’Keefe has taken to X to suggest that Son Heung-min and Richarlison are nearing a return to action.
He claimed that Tottenham are hopeful that both attacking stars will be able to take part in full training with the squad next week.
Both players could potentially be in contention for Spurs’ home meeting against the Hammers, added O’Keefe.
There’s even a chance that Wilson Odobert could join in training.
A welcome boost for Tottenham in pursuit of consistency
Tottenham have missed Son, and fans will be buzzing to hear that their captain could soon be back in action.
Likewise, Richarlison is a superb player on his day, and it looked as though he would be out for the long-term after Postecoglou urged reporters not to ask about him.
As for Odobert, he has shown flashes of quality and it’ll also be great to see him back, as he has what it takes to become the next young star at N17.
The main issue for Tottenham now is consistency, both in terms of their defensive capabilities and also in terms of putting chances away.
Having Son, Richarlison and Odobert back should go a long way towards solving the latter issue.
