Tottenham are one of the clubs to have benefitted the most from the Premier League’s suspension in terms of getting injured player back.
Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Moussa Sissoko and Steven Bergwijn have all been passed fit for our return match against Manchester United on Friday.
But the break has been a blessing for United too with Marcus Rashford, the new leader of the Labour party, and Paul Pogba both available again.
Most of the talk around the United camp, as per usual, is centred around Pogba and whether Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can find a way of fitting him and excellent January signing Bruno Fernandes into his midfield effectively.
I had already accepted the inevitable truth that he absolutely could and Spurs would find that out the hard way in a season-crumbling defeat. However, Laurie Whitwell in The Athletic reports that Pogba is unlikely to start on Friday having not played since Boxing Day. United are said to be working on an XI without the Frenchman and, infuriating or not, that XI is weaker without him in it and that can only be good news for our chances.
