“It is a strange situation and honestly to play so quickly – only one week after the World Cup – I am not really happy...' THFC
The Premier League returns on Boxing Day even though it is only a week since Tottenham duo Hugo Lloris and Cristian Romero battled it out in the World Cup final.
“In one hand, you are happy because for my club, Tottenham, to have 12 players at the World Cup it means that we are in the right way to try to be competitive and to try in the future to win something. “We work a lot on the tactical aspect and physical aspect. Now they are at a level that is better than the players who finished the World Cup.
Rodrigo Bentancur will also miss out due to suspension but has also been nursing a minor hamstring issue. The same injury will sideline Richarlison for a month and Lucas Moura’s problem with his tendon continues.“For sure it’s a difficult situation, because I have a good player in my squad, but he’s never available. It’s like you don’t have him.
