Tottenham Hotspur’s Lucas Bergvall suffered an ankle injury in April, forcing him to miss the end of last season, including their Europa League final win over Manchester United in May.
The Sweden international already regained full fitness in June and has been training under Thomas Frank’s orders since the pre-season.
The Tottenham player was part of the national team squad for this international break but didn’t feature for Sweden in the World Cup qualifiers win over Slovenia and 2-0 defeat to Kosovo on Monday.
Prior to Sweden’s clash against Kosovo, Fotbollskanalen had a chat with the 19-year-old to discuss his spell under Thomas Frank, who replaced Ange Postecoglou in the summer.
Bergvall played 2,334 minutes from 45 games last season and four games this season for the north London club. The midfielder now provides a positive update on his fitness and his desire to regain his best form at Tottenham.
“Thomas is a good coach. It’s just a matter of continuing on the path from last spring. Then I got an ankle injury. Now it’s good and I want to get back to that level and just continue,” he said.
When asked whether the former Brentford manager believes in him, Bergvall explained: “Yes, absolutely. I’ve had to play almost every match. It’s just a matter of continuing like I did in the spring season.”
The youngster graduated from IF Brommapojkarna’s youth system and played over a year for their senior team before joining Djurgården in February 2023. The latter sold him to the Premier League club.
He hasn’t played in the Champions League yet, but that can soon change when Spurs face Villarreal next week and Bergvall is excited of featuring in the Europe’s elite competition with the English club.
“It will be incredibly fun to play in the Champions League. Incredibly fun. I’m incredibly grateful and it’s fun that I got to do it after the first season,” he added.
