Spurs’ injury list looking to get shorter in coming weeks

Injury round-up as there could finally be some good news

Transcript

00:00And James, looking at Spurs' injury situation,

00:05obviously we've mentioned so many times throughout the season that they've had a bit of bad luck,

00:10sort of failed to rejuvenate that in January as much as they probably should have,

00:16and Spurs fans would have thought they would have approached that situation.

00:19But what's the latest on injuries?

00:21Is there any sort of return dates in mind and can they get any sort of confidence from players possibly returning soon?

00:28Yeah, well, I mean, it's light at the end of the tunnel at long last.

00:32Although just when we get Micky van der Ven back on the pitch against Ellsberg in the Europa League,

00:37we lost Dragos in the same game and it looks like Dragos might be out for the rest of the season.

00:42We've obviously brought in Kevin Danso from Racing Club Lens,

00:45which sort of plugs that gap in terms of that centre-back position and gives us a little bit of cover.

00:50But in terms of the sort of existing squad, it's looking very, very healthy,

00:55I think, in terms of the next week to 10 days.

00:57I mean, Vicario, Udoge, Ben and Johnson, James Madison,

01:01Wilson Odebere as well back in training, all on or around February the 10th.

01:07So, at long last, that injury list looks to be easing off.

01:12There's obviously a little bit of paths we've got to navigate in terms of getting them fully fit

01:15and easing players back in and managing minutes, etc.

01:19But finally, it looks like things might well be turning a corner.

01:23To have hung in there in the Cup competitions has been massive during this injury crisis.

01:28Absolutely, the league form has taken a battering and we've been largely very, very disappointed.

01:34But things are starting to ease at long last, fingers crossed,

01:38although knowing Spurs, who knows what might happen next?
