Ange Postecoglou has provided a team news update ahead of Monday’s match against Leicester City during this afternoon’s press conference at Hotspur Way.
The Premier League is back
Tottenham have a little longer to wait than most other clubs when the Premier League returns this weekend with the North Londoners allocated the Monday Night Football slot at the King Power Stadium.
Having narrowly missed out on the Champions League last season, Postecoglou will be keen for his side to begin the campaign with a victory over Premier League newcomers, Leicester City.
Such is the protocol, the media are informed of the availability of the Spurs first-team squad ahead of the clash against Steve Cooper’s side.
Fraser Forster and Richarlison are both surprisingly available having not appeared in any of Tottenham’s pre-season fixtures.

Postecoglou told the official Spurs site: “Knock on wood, at the moment, everyone’s training.
“Obviously, players like Richy and Fraser are the last two into the training group so they’ve had a good week of training but no game time. They are training which is the main thing and everyone seems to be in good condition.
Leicester vs Tottenham is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time on Monday 19 August 2024 with the game set to be broadcast on Sky Sports.

Last season, Tottenham came flying out of the blocks in the first few matches, only for injuries to key players to derail their campaign.
Hopefully, the main stars in the squad can avoid lengthy spells on the sidelines and the club also look to bring in at least two more quality additions during the current window.
