Ange Postecoglou issues Richarlison and Pape Matar Sarr Tottenham injury update for Man City

Ange Postecoglou has indicated that Richarlison is next in line to return to action out of Tottenham's large group of injured players. Spurs have been dealt some horrendous luck on the injury front in recent weeks, with key players such as James Maddison, Micky van de Ven and Rodrigo Bentancur not expected to return to action until 2024.

Richarlison is also another player to have spent time on the sidelines recently after undergoing surgery on a groin issue. Spotted back on the Tottenham training pitch on Thursday as he steps up his rehab, Postecoglou has revealed that the Brazil international could potentially be involved in training 24 hours before the team's Premier League clash at Man City.

«Richy's probably the closest out of the ones who have been missing, so looking to get him involved in training hopefully tomorrow and then we'll see how he is as he's obviously missed a fair bit,» said Postecoglou when speaking to SPURSPLAY.

«He's done his rehab really well and he feels good which is important. He's sort of the next cab off the ranks in terms of the injured guys.»

One player who does look certain to miss out at the Etihad Stadium is Pape Matar Sarr. Absent last weekend against Aston Villa through injury, Postecoglou has admitted that the Senegal international is behind Richarlison in terms of his comeback at present.

«Pape's probably a little bit behind him [Richarlison], so we'll just see how he goes.» said the 58-year-old. «I guess out of all the injured guys they're the two who we're hoping will be back over the next couple of weeks and the rest of them we won't see them until the new year.»
