Bergwijn and Moura joined Heung-min in listing Tottenham’s injuries ahead of their London derby against Chelsea on Sunday.
What did Nuno Espirito Santo say?
Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura were both named in the opening XI start of Espirito Santo for the opening of the Spurs Europa League group stage away in Rennes on Thursday night, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Sadly, Steven Bergwijn was forced to retire at the half-hour mark after a flare-up of an ankle problem that kept him from a 3-0 Premier League defeat last weekend to Crystal Palace, and the distress of visitors was compounded when Lucas Moura pulled away early in the second half.
Nuno Espirito is currently facing something of a selection crisis in attack, with Son Heung-min still struggling to come back from a calf injury. The Portuguese confirmed that Lucas and Steven’s readiness to meet Chelsea this weekend is also taking off during his post-match press conference at Roazhon Park. Nuno Espirito Santo told reporters that it was very painful. It’s too early to say Sunday. Physios work with them. they don’t know if they will fit. It’s hard.
The Tottenham boss added on the side of the fight since returning from the international break that it was terrible. according to Nuno, he must be honest. will not hide for anything. After playing the Watford, everything that happened was not good for them. But this is football. And they know that this is the moment that they must overcome. Today they tried to show the players the solutions, thinking about the game on Sunday. But it’s about overcoming obstacles. This will definitely make them stronger for the future.
A little about the topic
Tottenham took the lead against Rennes just 13 minutes later when Lucas Moura saw his cross deflected into the net by opposition defender Loic Bade, but the hosts parried a well-delivered curling blow from Flavien Tait midway through the first half. Rennes enjoyed the lion’s share of the ownership thereafter, and ultimately won an award for their pressure when Laborde turned home a rebound with less than 20 minutes left on the clock. The Spurs, however, reacted instantly with a finish close to Hojbjerg and ended up with a point, with Nuno eager to take the positives from the test competition.
