We’re currently on another international break, which typically means a snooze fest in regards to actual on-the-pitch action. However, sometimes major news is made in regards to injuries and unfortunately that is the case again this break, as Spurs and England midfielder Dele Alli suffered a muscle strain Saturday night.
We’ll get you an update on that, and cover some off-the-pitch topics, so let’s take a spin through the latest Tottenham Hotspur news and notes items, starting with FIFPro, the worldwide players’ union.
They asked their membership to select one goalkeeper, four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards for their FIFA FIFPro World 11 list.
The Premier League landed 18 players on the list, which is based on performance during the 2017-18 season. Spurs landed two players on the list: forward Harry Kane and defender Kieran Trippier.
NBC Sports has the whole list over at this link.
-Regarding Dele Alli, England manager Gareth Southgate says that Spurs supporters don’t have to worry too much. He should be ready to rock n roll against Liverpool this weekend.
“He’s had a minor strain, but I think he should be fine for his club this weekend,” Southgate said.
“I thought Dele’s performance was good against Spain. He makes critical forward runs and he learned a lot from the game.”
-Elsewhere, Christian Eriksen is having a great international break. He bagged a brace to help Denmark easily get past Wales 2-0 this past weekend.
