Tottenham Hotspur have a couple new boosts, to their team injury/fitness situation, ahead of the visit from Leeds United on Monday night. Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur are now both passed fit and available for selection. The news is still not better, however, for their once No.1 goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Having undergone hernia surgery, during the March international break, it was thought that he would be ready to go by now.
He’s still delayed, again, and one wonders if he’ll ever actually play again this season.

Tottenham Team News
“He’s not ready yet,” manager Roberto de Zerbi said at a press conference on Thursday. “I don’t know the plan… he’s suffering because he would like to help his team-mates, but he’s not available yet.”
Meanwhile Dominic Solanke (thigh) is ruled out for this one, with an eye on a potential return against Chelsea on May 19.
“He’s improving quickly,” De Zerbi said yesterday. “I don’t know for this game, we hope for the next game at Stamford Bridge.”
Other than that, the Spurs injury situation remains the same.
Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Mohammed Kudus, Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Ben Davies are all long ruled out for the rest of the season.
