Latest Tottenham injury news as five set to miss Fulham clash amid Brennan Johnson update
Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou will no doubt be delighted with how the first two months of their Premier League campaign has gone as they head into the second international break top of the table.
Their 1-0 win over Luton Town meant they leapfrogged their top-four rivals to start the weekend, but three losses in their last four in all competitions for reigning champions Manchester City has seen their downturn in form completely close the gap and allow Spurs to open their own one up.
Now they'll be looking ahead to a clash with London rivals Fulham in two weeks time but Postecoglou won't have his full range of stars to utilise after a tricky end to the last few weeks. One long-term injury is Israeli winger Manor Solomon, with the star forced to have surgery on his knee after a recent injury in training has left him sidelined for the next few months at least.
It'll come as a blow to Postecoglou's side, which has seen Solomon fit in perfectly on both wings, with him grabbing two assists in the 5-2 win over Burnley. One star who should be fully fit when they host the Cottagers however is striker Brennan Johnson, who was left out of the Wales squad by manager Rob Page in order to not jeopardise his health.
The 22-year-old suffered a thigh injury against Arsenal in the North London Derby, with the Wales boss saying: «The communication between us and Tottenham has been first-class. It’s about having mutual respect.
»Both managers want a talented player fit so it’s about working together. I’m not going to insist that he has to come away and we’re going to play him, jeopardise his safety and health.
