Tottenham Hotspur will face Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup this weekend.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested to The London Evening Standard that Marcus Edwards could feature against Wycombe Wanderers this weekend.
Spurs will take on Wycombe at White Hart Lane in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.
Pochettino has suggested that 18-year-old midfielder Edwards could play against the League Two outfit.
“Today [Thursday] was his first training session with the group and we’ll see,” Pochettino told The London Evening Standard. “First of all we need to see him Friday and after that we’ll decide.
“It’s true that it’s a little bit far to the level of the group but it’s his first day today with the group. Now he needs to build his fitness and try to achieve the same level as the whole group.”
Edwards is a talented and promising young midfielder and is one of the brightest talents in the current Tottenham squad.
The youngster made his first-team debut for the North London outfit in September when he featured in the EFL Cup tie against Gillingham.
An ankle injury has stunted the teenager’s progress and development, but he is now back fit and could feature against Wycombe.
It is too early for the youngster to establish himself as a regular in Tottenham’s first team, but in the next couple of years he should surely get games from time to time.
Tottenham are third in the Premier League table at the moment with 46 points from 22 matches, nine points behind leaders and London rivals Chelsea.
