Tudor confirms Spurs duo will return against Atletico Madrid | OneFootball

Igor Tudor says Destiny Udogie and Lucas Bergvall will return to the bench for Tottenham’s Champions League game against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Both have been sidelined since January but are set to return as Spurs try to overturn a 5-2 deficit to the Spanish side in their round of 16 tie.

Cristian Romero is also back in contention after missing the draw with Liverpool on Sunday due to a head injury, but Joao Palhinha is not ready to return.

Conor Gallagher also remains a doubt due to illness.

“Joao, no, but Destiny and Lucas will be on the bench tomorrow,” Spurs boss Tudor said.

“One part of the game, not too much because they just started to train with us but it’s good to see them.

“Romero can play, but Joao no. He’s a little bit worse but he can be back for the next game.”

On Gallagher’s fitness, Tudor said: “We’ll see today what we can do because it’s asthma problems.

“He gets a virus and it’s not a nice thing so we’re going to see tomorrow if he’s able to be on the bench.

“It’s nothing dangerous but still he’s not able to play.”
