Tottenham Hotspur are optimistic about their squad’s fitness as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League season. Manager Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that aside from a few setbacks, the team is nearing full strength.
Richarlison’s Situation:
The Brazilian forward, Richarlison, has been dealing with a calf injury that has kept him sidelined during Tottenham’s pre-season. He initially sustained the injury in the final moments of a training session, which led to his exclusion from Brazil’s Copa America squad. Although Postecoglou mentioned that Richarlison has been “hobbling about,” the club is hopeful for his return to training in the coming days, aiming for him to be fit by late August or early September【23†source】.
Fraser Forster’s Recovery:
Goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who has been out since last season with a fractured foot, is now back in training. Postecoglou expressed confidence that Forster will be ready soon, contributing to a strong competition for the goalkeeper position.
Tottenham fans can be encouraged by the progress, as these players’ returns will be crucial for a solid start to the season.
