Tottenham Hotspur will face Everton in the 18th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 0:00 a.m. on the 24th (Korea time). Tottenham ranks fifth in the league with 10 wins, three draws and four losses (33 points), while Everton ranks 16th with eight wins, two draws and seven losses (16 points).
Coach Enze Postecoglou, who attended a pre-press conference ahead of the game, provided an update on the injured players. First, he was asked, ‘Will James Medicine and Mickey van der Pen be able to return in early January? Or will they be able to return at the end of the month?’
Postecoglou responded, “It’s hard to say. Both of them are undergoing rehabilitation. They are not currently in training with the first-team players. Both players were injured in the same game. Van de Pen may return earlier than Madison. Both will be around January. Rodrigo Bentancur will be similar.”
“It’s not that we don’t want to disclose information. These things can be accelerated or delayed once we get into the final stages. It’s a difficult part to say until we see them training with us,” he added. 슬롯머신
Chances are high that neither player will be able to make a comeback in early January. This is a huge crisis for Tottenham. This is because Son will be called up to the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar, the AFC. Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr will also join the team at the Africa Cup of Nations.
There is a fortunate aspect of his misfortune. Giovanni Lo Celso has made a comeback. Postecoglou said Lo Celso is back. “None of the players have been absent from the Everton game since last week except for the disciplinary action.”
The possibility of Son’s absence has also been confirmed to be untrue. The Boot Room reported on the 21st that “two key Tottenham players appear to have missed the training session ahead of the match against Everton.” However, Postecoglou did not mention Son separately at the press conference.
