Tottenham are set to be boosted by the return of several key figures for Sunday’s visit of Manchester United.
Spurs were without 11 players for last weekend’s FA Cup exit at Aston Villa, but boss Ange Postecoglou has worked with Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson in training this week.
Italy international Vicario has not featured since he fractured his ankle in the 4-0 win at Manchester City on November 23 and Postecoglou has used three different goalkeepers during the ensuing three-month period.
“It’s been a good week, fair to say, in terms of the health and well-being of the group of young men I look after,” Postecoglou smiled.
“The guys who have been playing have benefited from a couple of days off.
“On the injury front, good to have some significant players back for training purposes to start with because it raises the quality and level of our training, but in terms of helping us Vicario, yes trained really well and good to go.
“Madders is good to go. Then we’ve had Destiny, Wilson and Brennan training with the group and they’re in a good space as well, so it’s been a good training week.”
Spurs remain without Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Radu Dragusin (knee), Cristian Romero (groin), Richarlison (calf), Timo Werner (hamstring) and Dominic Solanke (knee) for Sunday’s visit of 13th-placed United.
