Tottenham Hotspur head into the international break with three forwards all sidelined with injuries with Ange Postecoglou’s options being limited over recent weeks.
Postecoglou was forced into starting Timo Werner in Spurs’ last three matches with Richarlison, Heung-min Son and Wilson Odobert all out.
The German has really struggled for confidence which has meant his performance have not been great and he has received much criticism from supporters. Mikey Moore was also been given his full Tottenham debut with the trio unavailable.
After the international break, Tottenham will be hopeful of having at least one of these three players back as they all step up their recoveries.
Wilson Odobert on his recovery from a hamstring injury
Wilson Odobert has provided a brief injury update and revealed that he is working hard to get back fit from a hamstring injury.
The Frenchman signed from Burnley over the summer in a deal worth around £25 million and he quickly made his mark on the team. He has already made five appearances this season and quickly became a starter under Postecoglou.
However, Odobert’s momentum was halted as he suffered a hamstring injury against Coventry City in the Carabao Cup and was forced off after just 18 minutes.
Odobert told Tottenham Hotspur: “I’m disappointed about this injury but I’m working hard now to come back and play again. I just need to keep pushing and keep working.”
Richarlison closing in on return from injury
Richarlison looks to be closing in on his long-awaited return from injury as he continues to work outdoors at Hotspur Way.
The Brazilian has played just 25 minutes of football so far this season having come off the bench against Leicester City and Everton.
The 27-year-old could be a really useful asset for Postecoglou if he can just stay fit as he could provide some much-needed competition for both Dominic Solanke and Son.
