Tottenham Hotspur play a football match tomorrow, which is something that hasn’t happened in over two weeks. That’s good! But they play away to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a place they haven’t won since 2018. That’s not so good.
Spurs are just about as healthy as they’ve been all season, with Richarlison now back in full training. That’s good! But according to the most recent team update from Ange Postecoglou, there are still two players who have yet to fully recover from recent injuries — Big Ange stated on Spurs’ social media channels that Kevin Danso and Dejan Kulusevski are still “a couple of weeks away.” That’s not so good.
Ange says that Richarlison might or might not feature tomorrow against Chelsea, saying it’s about finding the right time to bring him back on and work him into the first team setup again. That suggests that if he WERE to play tomorrow, it’s likely be as a late game substitute to get minutes into his legs.
Notably, nothing was said about Cuti Romero or Micky van de Ven’s status. I’m going to assume that’s good. Romero was able to get some international minutes with Argentina and didn’t come back injured, which is also good. Van de Ven was not called up for the Netherlands, and while he saw some reserve minutes ahead of the international break it’s still not clear what his status is, which can be construed as potentially not so good.
Playing away at Chelsea is always a “not so good” situation, but now it’s time to bring this article to a close, which if I attempt to channel the thoughts of my readers here, is good.
