Tottenham: Igor Tudor confirms Lucas Bergvall and Destiny Udogie injury latest after surprise returns | OneFootball

Spurs duo set for shock comebacks in second leg against Atletico Madrid

Lucas Bergvall and Destiny Udogie are in contention to make their return for Tottenham against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Spurs are likely to be cautious with his minutes after his time on the sidelines, but Igor Tudor suggested they is ready to play some part.

Tudor said: “Destiny and Lucas will be on the bench tomorrow. One part of the game, not too much, because they just started to train with us but it is good to see them.”

Bergvall and Udogie’s availability is a welcome positive news for Tudor, who has had to deal with a depleted squad since he walked through the door at Spurs.

His midfield options are still slim. Yves Bissouma and Conor Gallagher were not involved in training on Tuesday, while Joao Palhinha was only able to train by himself away from the main group and remains sidelined.

Palhinha missed the draw with Liverpool on Sunday due to concussion protocols, having clashed heads with Cristian Romero late in the first leg against Atletico.

But Romero is back to face the Spanish side in north London.

Tudor said: "Joao no. Romero is there - you saw him train today yeah? He can play. Joao no. He is doing worse so he will be for the next game but Romero is in. “

On Gallagher, Tudor said: "We see today what we can do. He has asthma problems, maybe some virus, it is not a nice thing. We will see tomorrow if he is fit for the bench.

“Nothing like a danger but still he's not able to play.”
