Lucas Bergvall has declared himself fully fit and ready to play a complete match as Tottenham prepare to face Sunderland following the international break.
The young midfielder only recently returned from a hamstring injury that kept him out for an extended period. Since making his comeback last month, he has featured in two matches for Spurs and also made two appearances for Sweden during the break. However, he has yet to play beyond 45 minutes in any of those outings.
Despite that, Bergvall believes he is now ready to go the distance as new manager Roberto De Zerbi considers his lineup for Sunday’s trip to the Stadium of Light.
“I feel good, really good,” Bergvall said. “I haven’t played 90 minutes yet, but I’m confident I can. I’m just excited for the game against Sunderland.”
Reflecting on his time out injured, he admitted it was challenging but part of the game. “It’s tough, but injuries happen. It’s all about how you respond, how you recover, and how you support the team while you’re out. I just focused on getting back as quickly as possible.”
Tottenham head into the clash sitting in the relegation zone for the first time this season, adding pressure ahead of the away fixture. Bergvall, however, is determined to contribute as the team fights to avoid dropping down.
He also spoke positively about De Zerbi’s early impact, praising the new head coach’s approach. “He’s been excellent—really good with the team. Training has been intense, focused, and enjoyable. It’s been a great environment so far.”
Looking ahead to Sunday’s match, Bergvall expects a tough contest but remains focused on the objective. “It’s going to be a difficult game away at Sunderland, but we just need to perform and push for all three points.”
