Tottenham Hotspur are due to take on Watford in their next match at the weekend.
Victor Wanyama could be back in Tottenham Hotspur’s team to face Watford at the weekend, according to Mauricio Pochettino’s comments to Football.London.
Tottenham had hoped that Wanyama would be fit enough to play against Swansea City last night, but he was not even included in the squad.
The Kenyan international hurt his back, while playing for Spurs against Burnley last Saturday.
However, it does not appear that Wanyama will be kept on the sidelines for too long, as Pochettino is hoping the 25-year-old will be back available again soon.
“Victor was not 100% to be in team or on bench, but we hope for weekend he will be available again,” Pochettino said.
Wanyama’s absence looked set to be very costly for Spurs last night, as they struggled to get a foothold in the match against Swansea early on.
Tottenham were 1-0 down against the Swans for much of the match, but a late comeback from Pochettino’s men saw them claim the three points.
Spurs first hit an equaliser through Dele Alli, before Heung-Min Son and Christian Eriksen sealed the victory.
Tottenham’s victory ensures that they have kept some pressure on league leaders Chelsea, with just eight matches remaining this season.
