Spurs star gives fitness update after long-term injury | OneFootball

Jess Naz confirmed that her recovery is going well after being out for seven months since suffering an ACL injury last season.

In Spurs’ win over Aston Villa last December, the forward picked up the ACL injury and is yet to feature for the club since then.

At the club’s kit launch Naz spoke to Hayters.com and gave an update on her fitness.

“Recovery is going well,” she said. “Obviously, it’s quite a big injury, so taking it step by step, it’s going smoothly right now.

“I’m just excited to get back with the team next season.”

“My teammates and manager have been great. I remember when I first did it Martin [HO] came straight down and saw me after.

“I broke down. I was emotional, but yeah, the girls have been great, had my back every time, supporting me. I think that’s what’s helped me push. I’m just ready to get back playing with the girls.”

Since Martin Ho took over the club, Tottenham’s women’s team has come on leaps and bounds, from finishing 11th in the previous campaign to 5th last year. Naz explained what has changed under the new boss.

“I think I’ve had a great first season,” she said. “We have a strong league position. He’s come in, raised the levels, really demanding high standards. 

“I think the way we play, exciting football, but also the way that we defend, being hard to beat.And I think next season is going to be exciting as well. We’ll just keep on growing, growing, moving forward. We’re just going to keep challenging and pushing.”
