Ahead of the Premier League clash against Aston Villa, Ange Postecoglou has now provided an update on the fitness of his Tottenham squad.
Speaking on Lucas Bergvall’s fitness and the likelihood of him featuring in the Europa League against Manchester United, Postecoglou told football.london: “No, it’s still the same sort of timeframe. Never long term but he’s just got out of his boot and taking his first steps on the grass but he’ll likely be a while.”
On whether Heung-min Son would feature against Aston Villa, the Spurs boss continued: “He’ll definitely play tomorrow. Whether he’ll start or not we’ll see. He reacted well to Sunday and it makes sense to get him more match minutes whether it’s starting or playing half of the game.”
