Midfield duo back available in boost for Spurs | OneFootball

Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are back available for Tottenham’s clash with Brighton on Saturday.

Bentancur has been out since January with a hamstring injury but boss Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed he is back in contention to feature.

“Bentancur is available to play,” he said.

“I don’t know if he’ll start the game or not. Bissouma is available but Vicario no. [Antonin] Kinsky played very well in Sunderland but Vicario is another important player for us, big experience, character and personality.”

But Spurs will be without captain Cristian Romero, who has been ruled out until the end of the season in another injury blow.

“Romero, I’m really sorry for him and his injury,” De Zerbi said.

“First of all, non-stop, the people have to know he’s suffering because of this injury and because he can’t play anymore for us in this season. He’s a great captain for us and for Tottenham. We have to be positive, we have Radu Dragusin and Kevin Danso, they are very good to play and give us quality with the ball.”

James Maddison is also still not ready to return from the knee injury which has kept him out for the entirety of the campaign.

Guglielmo Vicario is still sidelined too after undergoing hernia surgery.
