Ivan Perisic appears to have allayed any injury fears the Tottenham Hotspur supporters may have had for him ahead of the north London derby at Arsenal next weekend.
The Spurs fans took to social media in the aftermath of Croatia's 2-1 victory at home against Denmark on Thursday, concerned that a 'challenge' by another Tottenham player in Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg had caused an injury for Perisic. The 33-year-old had run into the back of the Danish midfielder and not too long after, in the 71st minute, Perisic walked off gingerly around the pitch with a couple of Croatia staff on either side having been substituted.
Perisic has quickly become a key member of Antonio Conte's side now he has recovered fully from a calf injury suffered in his final match for Inter last season. The Croatian wing-back played under Conte in Italy and has settled rapidly in England, with four assists in his opening nine matches for the club.
