Tottenham: Due to an injury, the “magician” there might be out until “early November.”
News about the Tottenham Hotspur squad has emerged as Ange Postecoglou’s club gets ready to play Sheffield United in the Premier League this weekend.
Tottenham will play Sheffield United.
The North Londoners face Paul Heckingbottom’s freshly promoted Blades at home on Saturday at 15:00 in their first game back after their international break.
With victories over Man United, Bournemouth, and Burnley in that sequence, Spurs have won their past three Premier League games and are now on an incredible tear under Postecoglou.
They have scored nine goals within that period, playing Postecoglou’s electrifying, exhilarating style of football at its most destructive.
Since Heckingbottom’s team is yet to register their first league victory of the 023/2024 season, Sheffield United’s fortunes are at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Their 2-1 losses to Man City and Nottingham Forest were maybe unlucky, and they were unable to upset Crystal Palace, who defeated them 1-0 on the first day, in part due to their lack of aggression up front.
Even though Everton and the Bramall Lane team drew 2-2 a week ago to earn their first point, all indications are that Tottenham will easily win this match.
What are the most recent Spurs team news?
Some team news on who will and won’t be available for Postecoglou to use in their match against each other at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a few days has surfaced.
There were reports that defender Cristian Romero picked up a knock on international duty with Argentina against Ecuador, but those fears were later quashed when he started their subsequent 3-0 win over Bolivia.
Giovani Lo Celso, a fellow Argentine who missed Sheffield United’s round of international competition due to injury, is a doubt for the club but might return on September 30.
After having operations to address their individual issues, Ryan Sessegnon, Alfie Whiteman, and Rodrigo Bentancur are all longer-term absences; however, an update on Bryan Gil has just become available.
The Spaniard, who was expected to fit seamlessly into Postecoglou’s flexible Spurs system, may not return until “late October or early November” due to a groin injury of his own.
Gil will likely not play again for Tottenham until at least late next month, according to The Evening Standard, who also claim that Gil needs surgery for the issue.
How good is Bryan Gil?
The 22-year-old, who is referred to as a “magician” moving forward, struggled to get into games under Antonio Conte but managed to make an impression in brief bursts.
Gil’s playing style has also been compared to that of Bernardo Silva, a legend of Manchester City, and even though Conte only sometimes utilized him, the former Spurs manager did have some complimentary things to say about him earlier this year.
In January, Conte remarked, “It was incredibly significant because, as you know, Bryan Gil is a guy who was born to play football.
He picks up on football rapidly. He is incredibly shrewd and wise to grasp the circumstances. Then you understand
how hard this league is because you need to have excellent quality, be quick, and have strong endurance, and he possesses these qualities.
“However, you must also have physical strength. I believe Gil is making significant progress in this area as well in
comparison to previous season. He needs to build up his physical strength. Because in my perspective they are both at Manchester City, I likened him to Bernardo Silva
