Fri 09 August 2024, 13:00|Tottenham Hotspur
Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Destiny Udogie is set to feature in Saturday's Visit Malta Cup pre-season encounter with Bayern Munich at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The full-back has been back in full training in recent weeks and now Ange has said he will get his first minutes of pre-season when we face the German giants for the second time in a week. Ange also revealed that both Richarlison and Fraser Forster are both unlikely to feature tomorrow (kick-off 5.30pm UK) but are edging closer to a return after joining in training this week following respective long-term injuries.
"They're both progressing well," said Ange, speaking in his pre-match interview with SPURSPLAY. "Destiny will get some game time tomorrow.
"Richy's only had a week of training so he probably won't get game time but he's had a good week of training so that's the important thing. Fraser is just back into training this week and has had a good block of training but he won't feature tomorrow. Everyone else is healthy and ready to go."
Following their involvement in this summer's major international tournaments, Copa America-winning duo Cristian Romero and Giovani Lo Celso, Rodrigo Bentancur and Micky van de Ven were not part of our pre-season tour of Asia but reported back at Hotspur Way at the start of the week following a summer break and are all in contention to feature.
"From our perspective, we made sure they all had a decent break as they all had pretty big tournaments - particularly the South Americans," added our Head Coach. "It's really good to get them back in the building as they add to the quality and intensity of our training, it's good to have them back."
