We take a look at when Igor Tudor could have Lucas Bergvall available for selection after Tottenham received some good news on the midfielder’s rehabilitation.
Tottenham are in the midst of a major injury crisis at the moment, but the club have received a positive update on one of its young guns.
When he picked up an injury in the Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund last month, it was reported that Bergvall could face three months on the sidelines.
However, over recent days, it has emerged that the Spurs midfielder’s rehabilitation is going better than expected and he could be back before the end of March.
Which game can Tottenham expect Lucas Bergvall to be back?
The previously mentioned update, which came from Footboll Direkt, suggested that Bergvall could be back in action in another six weeks.
It was revealed that the 20-year-old is in a race against time to be fit for Sweden’s World Cup playoff semifinal against Ukraine on March 26.
That suggests that Bergvall is almost certain to miss these Spurs matches:
- Sun, 22 Feb: Spurs v Arsenal
- Sun, 1 Mar: Fulham v Spurs
- Thu, 5 Mar: Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace
- Mar 10-12: Champions League round of 16, first leg
- Sat, 14 Mar: Liverpool v Spurs
- Mar 17-19: Champions League round of 16, second leg
- Sat, 21 Mar: Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest
The international break follows that run of fixtures, with the Lilywhites resuming Premier League action with a trip to Sunderland on April 11. That may be the game that the attacking midfielder targets for his return.
Spurs may soon get other key players back
Pedro Porro may not be a long way away from returning to action after picking up a hamstring problem a few weeks ago.
Additionally, Richarlison has been spotted going through the training drills with the Spurs squad this week, which suggests that the Brazilian is now close to being fit.
Finally, it has been reported that Mohammed Kudus is responding well to the treatment he is receiving from a specialist in Amsterdam, as the winger steps up his recovery.
