It’s Sad to Announce that Some players cannot start against Westham Due to….

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou currently has three players sidelined with injuries, though there are promising signs of their potential returns. While attending the NFL London Games match between the Chicago Bears and Jacksonville Jaguars at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Postecoglou would have been contemplating the availability of his injured players for the upcoming Premier League derby against West Ham United.

Son Heung-min, the team’s captain, has missed three consecutive matches due to a hamstring injury sustained during a Europa League match against Qarabag. While he was forced to skip South Korea’s World Cup qualifying matches, Son recently hinted at his imminent return with a social media post showing him overlooking training pitches with the message “Back soon.” Reports indicate he’s expected to resume training this week, with his availability for the West Ham match on October 19 being monitored.

Richarlison, who has been absent since making a brief substitute appearance against his former club Everton early in the season, continues to deal with a calf injury. The £60 million Brazilian signing has struggled to maintain consistent fitness since joining Spurs in 2022. While he’s been seen working on the grass recently and could return to training next week, the club is taking a cautious approach given his history of setbacks, making his involvement against West Ham uncertain.

The third injured player is Wilson Odobert, a recent £30 million signing from Burnley, who suffered a hamstring injury during a Carabao Cup match against Coventry shortly after his arrival. The 19-year-old French player could potentially return to training this week, though his availability for the West Ham match or the subsequent Europa League fixture against AZ will depend on how he responds to contact training and increased physical demands.
