After two weeks of Brighton-induced navel gazing, Tottenham Hotspur are back and ready to play football again, this time in a London derby against West Ham on Saturday. The good news is that almost everyone came back from the international break either healthy or with minor concerns that shouldn’t be too much of an issue, and virtually the entire team is available for selection.
The bad news... well, actually there really isn’t any! Here’s Ange with the team update.
The biggest takeaway is that both Son Heung-Min and Richarlison are available for selection, though Ange did seem to hedge a bit on Richy. My guess is he’ll be on the bench on Saturday and will be gently eased back into action, which makes sense. Sounds like Sonny’s raring to go, which is great — Spurs actually got him to skip an international break with Korea, which is a rare feat considering Sonny is Korea’s captain and the most famous sports personality in his home country.
And there’s even good news on Wilson Odobert — Ange states that he’s ready to return to training starting next week, which puts him on track to return to the team by the end of October, right in line with what the medical staff said after his initial injury.
So it’s a Good News Thursday! Let’s celebrate.
