Every word Ange Postecoglou said on Micky van de Ven, James Maddison and Spurs January transfers

He should only be a month if everything goes well so not too long after the international break.

They’re the main ones, obviously we have a couple of suspensions as well. Davies is back and available. Pedro [Porro] is fine. He's trained.
