Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has told Football.London that winger Steven Bergwijn will return to action very soon.
Bergwijn is on the sidelines at the moment due to a calf injury he suffered while playing for Tottenham against Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.
Tottenham boss Conte has said that the 24-year-old Netherlands international is on the verge of making a comeback from injury.
The former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss, though, has admitted that star forward Son Heung-min will miss the upcoming games due to injury.
Antonio Conte on Steven Bergwijn
Conte told Football.London about Bergwijn about Friday: “I spoke with Steven today and his feeling is good. He’s improving day by day, step by step.
“My expectation and the medical department’s expectation is to come back very soon. We need to help him.
“Also we had a problem with Son during the game against Chelsea. It will be very important to recover Steven Bergwijn.”
Encouraging for Tottenham Hotspur
If Bergwijn is back soon, then it will be a big boost to Tottenham.
Son is one of the best attacking players in the Premier League, and Spurs will miss him.
However, if 24-year-old Bergwijn is back soon, then he will be a good option for Conte.
Now, we do not think that the winger is going to start week in and week out for Tottenham, but the former PSV star is a good option to have for Conte.
Tottenham are aiming to finish in the Premier League top four, and Conte needs all his players fit and available to be successful in that quest.
