Tottenham has received a huge piece of injury news ahead of the North London Derby against Arsenal, with Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma and Dejan all in line to feature.
According to Football London, the trio are all now heavily likely to return to the squad to face the Gunners in what is being billed as one of the biggest Premier League matches of the season, with Arsenal leading the Premier League by five points and looking to end their winless run at Tottenham.
Mikel Arteta’s side have already beaten Tottenham this season in a 3-1 win at the Emirates Stadium, yet Arsenal are yet to beat Antonio Conte’s side in the league away from home in well over a decade, with this latest piece of injury news massive for Spurs.
Kulusevski, who was lauded by Tim Sherwood as ‘brilliant’ is regarded by many as one of the best creative players in the Premier League, with the Sweden international being a huge loss for Tottenham this season due to injury. Whilst the return of Bentancur will bring stability to the midfield.
Indeed, Tottenham will be eager to build from their 4-0 win against Crystal Palace during the week with a victory against their north London rivals, and having the likes of Kulusevski and Bentancur back from injury will be nothing short of massive to supporters.
With Bissouma also back for depth off the bench, Arsenal could be in for a rough afternoon at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next weekend, where a loss for Arteta’s side could completely derail their Premier League title bid if Manchester City also win against Manchester United.
Tottenham injury news is the last thing Arsenal needed
Arsenal have broken all barriers this season with a club-best start that could result in an unprecedented Premier League title. And a win against Tottenham that has been a decade in the making will instil belief in supporters unlikely any other result. Yet this injury update is far from ideal.
After all, Tottenham will be up for this game and will want to derail Arsenal’s Premier League title bid. And the returns of Kulusevski and Bentancur will be massive if Spurs are to get another result against the Gunners on their own turf.
