Tottenham injury update: Yves Bissouma and Richarlison latest news and return dates

Tottenham have two injury concerns as they look to pick themselves up after losing the north London derby.

Spurs travel to Championship side Coventry in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday night, before hosting Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.

Ange Postecoglou welcomed back Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke for the clash with Arsenal and has almost a full squad to choose from.

Here’s a look at the latest Tottenham injury news...

Yves Bissouma

Bissouma sat out the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal after picking up an injury on international duty with Mali.

In his pre-match press conference last week, Postecoglou said: “It's hard to say at the moment, it's a tweak in his groin. The initial reports are it's not serious which means there is a chance for Sunday, which tells me it's nothing significant.

“If he doesn't make Sunday, then I'll assume he'll be right for after that. At the same time, he's just come off a long flight, you never feel great anyway, we'll see how he trains tomorrow and that will give the best indication.”

Potential return date: Saturday September 21, vs Brentford

Richarlison

Richarlison is currently sidelined for Spurs after picking up an injury in training before their 2-1 defeat at Newcastle earlier this month.

The Brazilian striker came off the bench in their first two games of the season and may not return until the end of September.

“Still a while, mate, yeah,” Postecoglou said on Richarlison after the Arsenal loss. “He’s in rehab and we are going to take it a bit conservative with him.”
