Tottenham defender faces a huge pre-season.
Bad injury news for Tottenham defender Juan Foyth shines the spotlight on a huge pre-season for 20-year-old talent Cameron Carter-Vickers.
Carter-Vickers has been on the fringes of Tottenham’s first team for two years now and is a senior USA international.
Last season he impressed on loan spells at both Sheffield United and Ipswich Town, and now hopes to make the step up.
The situation is set up perfectly for Carter-Vickers to do so.
Jan Vertonghen, Eric Dier and Toby Alderweireld are still on holiday due to World Cup involvement, while Davinson Sanchez is back, but not as fresh as Carter-Vickers is.
Foyth’s injury is a misfortune where the Argentine is concerned, but for Carter-Vickers it removes an obstacle in his path.
Being at home in the US for their pre-season tour could help the centre-back seize his chance, and he really has to if he wants to be a part of Tottenham’s first team this season.
Otherwise another loan beckons, and he may not get this clear of a chance again.
