The Spurs’ injury report on Brennan Johnson has been updated.
On Sunday, the Wales international was forced to leave the North London derby early.
Tottenham Hotspur have received an update on Brennan Johnson’s injury sustained in Sunday’s North London derby against Arsenal.
What are the latest Tottenham injury reports?
Johnson was not the only player injured in Sunday’s game; James Maddison was forced off after colliding with Jorginho, although he left the field without the need for crutches or an ice pack, indicating the injury wasn’t too serious.
Ivan Perisic has been ruled out indefinitely after sustaining ACL injury in his right knee. The Croatia international joins Ryan Sessegnon and Rodrigo Bentancur on the injured list.
Ange Postecoglou stated on September 15th, “Gio is still working his way back.” He saw us yesterday, but we’re not going to rush him back. It’s a huge relief that he got through the session, and the goal now is to reintegrate him.”
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, on the other hand, may be more concerned with Johnson’s hamstring injury suffered against Arsenal, with Football London reporting that he might be out for up to six weeks depending on the severity of the issue. The Wales international is thought to have strained his hamstring rather than suffered a more serious injury, although he will undergo tests this week to determine the extent of the problem.
Spurs will be hoping that the 22-year-old is fit for the October international break, and if it is just a slight strain, he might be available for the trip to Luton Town on October 7th.
However, if the injury is more serious than initially feared, the forward may not be able to return until after the international break, and in the worst-case scenario, he may not be able to return until November’s away fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Was Brennan Johnson efficient in his match against Arsenal?
Postecoglou started the Welshman for the weekend trip to the Emirates Stadium, but he did not have the best game in front of goal, squandering two good chances, the most of any player on the pitch.
The former Nottingham Forest man getting into the right positions in a high-pressure game on Sunday may be considered as a plus, but Postecoglou will be hoping he can be a little more clinical in the future.
Former manager Sabri Lamouchi called the winger “unbelievable.” He has the potential to be a long-term success in north London, and he did well in his debut season in the Premier League, scoring eight goals. As a result, Postecoglou will be hoping that Johnson’s injury is mild and that he can return to the Spurs as soon as possible.
