Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has already confirmed Radu Dragusin will start today against Fulham.
Three big points are on the line for the Lilywhites in their trip to Craven Cottage later today as they look to pick up where they left off against Aston Villa.
Ange Postecoglou will have a big decision to make, though, on Saturday after he provided some interesting team news in Friday’s meeting with the media.
Postecoglou’s Richarlison decision
The big injury news to come out of the press conference at Hotspur Way yesterday was the return to training for Richarlison.
The Brazilian is back in contention for the game today having missed the previous two games with a kneee injury.
However, his return coincides with a stunning run of form in front of goal for Spurs without him in the side.
Spurs have scored seven times in his absence and Heung-min Son has done more than enough to keep the spot through the middle.
The South Korean has netted twice and provided two assists in Richarlison’s absence.
Adding to that, Dejan Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner have all been providing in an attacking sense too.
The 26-year-old may now be forced to wait for his turn in the starting XI.
Radu Dragusin to start
Micky van de Ven picked up another hamstring injury on the weekend in the victory against Villa.
It was perhaps the only negative to come out of what was a seriously impressive afternoon for the north London side.
Thankfully, Postecoglou has suggested the injury is not too serious and won’t require too much time on the sidelines.
What this does mean is that Spurs fans will get to see Radu Dragusin from the start on Saturday.
The Romanian was a hot topic of discussion in the press conference on Friday and Postecoglou has confirmed he will start at Craven Cottage.
It probably went without saying, but Postecoglou has took the guessing out of one of the spots in the starting XI.
Dragusin seriously impressed on Sunday in his display against Villa and now he will be given the opportunity to show Spurs fans just why the club bought him in January.
After the performance on Sunday, it’s difficult to imagine Postecoglou making any unnecessary changes.
Predicted Tottenham XI v Brentford (4-3-3): Vicario, Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie, Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison, Kulusevski, Son Heung-min, Johnson
