Team news | Brighton vs Spurs | Sonny, Destiny latest
Fri 04 October 2024, 11:22|Tottenham Hotspur
Ange Postecoglou expects Destiny Udogie to be available for our trip to Brighton in the Premier League on Sunday (4.30pm UK) - although he says Heung-Min Son's involvement is 'unlikely'.
Flying full-back Destiny was withdrawn during half-time of our 3-0 win at Old Trafford on Sunday after feeling a tightness in his quad muscle in the first half. He didn't travel to Hungary for our UEFA Europa League victory against Ferencvaros on Thursday night, but Ange feels he will be ready for Sunday's clash at the Amex.
Skipper Sonny missed the United game and didn't travel either in midweek after suffering a hamstring issue against Qarabag on 26 September.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday morning, Ange said: "First thing's first, we're all good after last night, obviously tired but, physically, no issues from last night's game.
"Of the guys who stayed back... Destiny, we think will be okay. We train today and tomorrow, so he has to get through that. Sonny is unlikely, he's pushing hard, but the turn around might be too quick for him to be available at this stage."
Radu Dragusin is available again after being suspended for Thursday night's win in Budapest. Richarlison and Wilson Odobert remain sidelined.
