Tottenham injury update ahead of Nottingham Forest clash

Ange Postecogulu has been dealing with many injuries at Spurs

Tottenham’s 4-1 victory over Newcastle United over the weekend was the ideal response to their Thursday London derby loss to West Ham United.

Richarlison, Son Heung-min, and Destiny Udogie all struck in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, demonstrating Ange Postecoglou’s team’s return to form. Spurs’ winless streak, which dated back to the last day of October, was snapped with the victory.

The remaining Christmas period will give the residents of North London some challenging matches; Nottingham Forest will play next, followed on December 23 by Everton’s visit to the city. Luckily for Postecoglou, the concerns about injuries at Hotspur Way did not get worse throughout the weekend.

Richarlison got started for the first time since the victory over Crystal Palace, and Pape Matar Sarr made his first appearance in the beginning eleven since the 2-1 loss at Wolves.
