The Tottenham Hotspur youngster deserves to start in the upcoming FA Cup match.
Tottenham Hotspur youngster Marcus Edwards recently returned to first-team training following an ankle injury, and now he has stepped up his recovery with an outing for Spurs’ under-23s.
The young Tottenham side lost 3-2 to their Liverpool counterparts but Edwards will be happy to be back in action, with his upturn in fortune coming at the perfect time if he is eyeing a first start for the senior side.
Edwards made his debut for Mauricio Pochettino’s men in their EFL Cup match against Gillingham earlier in the campaign, but the FA Cup fifth round match against Fulham represents the perfect opportunity for him to play from the start rather than as a late substitute.
Edwards is regarded as the jewel in the crown of Tottenham’s academy and fans are desperate to see him given more action as soon as possible.
A match against lower league opposition could be that chance, and the 18-year-old certainly has the innate skill and the confidence in his own ability to excel when called upon.
Now he is not only back in training but also getting some minutes under his belt for Tottenham’s under-23s, what chance Edwards being one of the 11 players called on in just 14 days?
