Tanguy Ndombele joined Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho has given his take on Tanguy Ndombele to Football.London.
Mourinho has admitted that the France international has had a tough time under him due to injuries.
However, the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss has said that he hopes that the 23-year-old improves from now and does not get injured.
Mourinho told Football.London when asked about Ndombele’s injury problems: “I can only speak about three months and three months of small injuries, setbacks, difficult to reach a good physical level. Playing one match and then getting injured again. So difficult, difficult time.”
The Portuguese added: “At least he’s not been injured in the last few weeks, he played a good 30 minutes in the last game and it was a game of high intensity. And hopefully he’ll only improve.
“I hope that the first time he plays a match in the starting line-up, he can play and be on the pitch for 60-90 minutes and not have any setback.”
