Tottenham injury news: Ange Postecoglou’s men come out of the international break with little concerns ahead of a busy end to SeptemberNonetheless, Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero gave Spurs a few fleeting worries during the first international break of the season. While serving with South Korea, Son was seen walking with thick strapping and an ice pack on his knee.
Though all doubts were allayed when he was named in the starting XI in the 1-0 victory over Saudi Arabia, the injury is thought to have been sustained during a training routine at the Newcastle-based training camp.
Romero’s possible injury raised concerns when reports from South America indicated he may have taken a hit during the 1-0 victory over Ecuador. The Argentine played the whole 3-0 victory on Tuesday night, having trained before leaving for Bolivia.
James Madison is another important figure who has played a pivotal role in Postecoglou’s early life in England. The 26-year-old has been playing brilliantly in midfield to secure a spot in England’s starting lineup for Saturday’s match against Ukraine. After being rested in the 3-1 victory over Scotland, Maddison emerged from the European Championship qualifier uninjured and is anticipated to be back at Hotspur Way ready for Saturday.
One player whose availability is unclear is Hugo Lloris. The former captain, who had publicly declared his desire for a new challenge, has not featured under Postecoglou but was registered in the north Londoners’ Premier League 25-man squad.
