Tottenham: Due to an injury, the “magician” there could be out until “early November.”
Before Sheffield United, some team news has been revealed.
As Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs team gets ready to play Sheffield United in the Premier League this weekend, new information about the team has emerged.
Spurs versus Sheffield United
On Saturday at 15:00, the north Londoners host Paul Heckingbottom’s freshly promoted Blades to begin their post-international schedule.
With victories over Man United, Bournemouth, and Burnley, respectively, in their previous three Premier League games, Spurs are currently on fire under Postecoglou.
They have netted nine goals during that time, playing Postecoglou’s electrifying, exhilarating brand of football at its most destructive.
The situation for Sheffield United is at the opposite end of the spectrum, as Heckingbottom’s team has yet to win a league game in 023/2024.
They may have been unlucky to lose 2-1 to Man City and 2-1 to Nottingham Forest, but they also struggled to beat Crystal Palace, who defeated them 1-0 on the first day of the season.
The Bramall Lane team did manage to secure their first point last week against Everton with a 2-2 draw, but all indications are that this could be a straightforward victory for Tottenham.
What is the most recent Spurs sports news?
Some team news on who will and won’t be available to play for Postecoglou has emerged ahead of their next match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Argentina’s defender Cristian Romero was reportedly injured while playing for his country against Ecuador, but those worries were allayed when he started Argentina’s 3-0 victory over Bolivia the next day.
Giovani Lo Celso, a fellow Argentine who missed their round of internationals due to injury, is questionable for Sheffield United but might return on September 30.
After undergoing operations for their various issues, Ryan Sessegnon, Alfie Whiteman, and Rodrigo Bentancur are all longer-term absences; an update on Bryan Gil is now available.
The Spaniard, who is expected to fit well into Postecoglou’s flexible Spurs style, may not return until “late October or early November” due to a groin problem of his own.
According to The Evening Standard, Gil needs surgery for the issue and won’t likely play for Tottenham again until at least late next month.
The caliber of Bryan Gil?
Under Antonio Conte, the 22-year-old, who has been dubbed a “magician” moving forward, struggled to get into games but managed to make an impression in brief bursts.
Although Conte only occasionally utilized Gil, the former Spurs manager did have some complimentary things to say about him earlier this year. Gil has also been compared to Bernardo Silva, a legend from Manchester City.
In January, Conte remarked, “It was really important, you know about Bryan Gil, we are talking about a player who was born to play football.”
He picks up on football rapidly. He is incredibly shrewd and wise to grasp the circumstances. You then understand how challenging this league is given the requirements of having good quality, speed, and agility He possesses this kind of quality, which is good endurance.
“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. He and Bernardo Silva, who is currently with Manchester City, are comparably comparable, in my opinion.
