Tottenham Hotspur could welcome back some key players for their clash against Ipswich Town after the international break.
Spurs will look to put their loss against Leeds behind them and return to winning ways when they host Ipswich Town on Saturday, 21 November.
The Lilywhites have won their last two matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against Coventry City and Crystal Palace, which they had not done for nearly two years before that.
Ipswich sit just one point below Spurs in the table, but they are winless in their last four, which should make Roberto De Zerbi’s side massive favourites.
Additionally, the North Londoners may also be boosted by the return of several key men for the upcoming clash.
It was previously reported that Lucas Bergvall, Savio and James Maddison could all be fit for Spurs’ clash against the Tractor Boys.
On Friday morning, Savio took to social media to hint that he is back from injury after missing the Lilywhites’ last four matches with a muscle issue.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Tottenham insider Szyexcel has now shared that the Brazilian may not just be back in the matchday squad, but could actually be fit to start against Ipswich.
The Spurs insider also posted an update on Mathys Tel, who was forced off with an injury against Leeds after being on the receiving end of a nasty challenge from Jayden Bogle.
While he did not confirm that the Frenchman could be available for the upcoming fixture, he did state that the forward’s injury is not as bad as initially feared.
Szyexcl wrote on X: “Not as serious as first feared (Tel), thankfully. Savio is back next weekend, hoping to be ready to start.”
Why Ipswich clash could be a massive banana peel for Spurs
While a home clash against Ipswich may look straightforward on paper for the Lilywhites, the timing of the clash makes it potentially challenging.
Tottenham have 14 players away on international duty, many of whom will only return a couple of days before the clash on Saturday.
While most will return with a lot of fatigue, having featured twice for their countries, some could also carry niggles or injuries, potentially forcing De Zerbi to make last-minute selection calls.
In contrast, Ipswich only have nine players away on international duty, which means the majority of their squad will have two full weeks to prepare for the clash.
