Tottenham handed £69m transfer twist as Ange Postecoglou given huge injury boost
Tottenham return to Premier League action this weekend as they prepare to take on Aston Villa. Ange Postecoglou's side will be looking to return to winning ways after suffering back-to-back defeats against Chelsea and Wolves prior to the international break.
Spurs had started the season with eight wins from ten matches but have now dropped down to fourth in the table. Postecoglou is facing a number of injury concerns to the likes of James Maddison and Micky Van de Ven.
Captain Son Heung-min had sparked fears when he went down injured in South Korea's win over Singapore, but the forward played the entirety of the 3-0 win over China on Tuesday — scoring twice. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario was forced to leave the Italy squad after picking up flu symptoms and replaced by Atalanta's Marco Carnescchi.
