Whole Tottenham Hotspu squad breathe sigh of relief after 21-year-old almost gets snapped in training yesterday
Tottenham Hotspur have been preparing for a crucial Champions League match against Sporting.
There were several key players missing from the session that will disappoint Tottenham fans.
Antonio Conte has said that Dejan Kulusevski going to be unavailable for the foreseeable future.
Cristian Romero and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg were both missing too ahead of this evening’s tie.
Reports have suggested Romero could well feature this evening, but that will depend on whether Conte wants to risk him.
Hojbjerg’s absence pushes Tottenham’s other midfielder another step closer to playing.
One of those is 21-year-old Harvey White, who has been involved with the first-team squad all season.
shows White avoiding a tackle in training from Ben Davies by flicking the ball through his legs.
There’s an audible sigh of relief from other members of the squad as he got away with not losing the ball, and dodged a big tackle.
White avoids Davies tackle in training
After spending the second half of last season on loan at Portsmouth last season, White has now been part of Conte’s squad this campaign.
He’s been a regular player for the under-21s, but has also sat on the bench four times for the first team.
It appears as though new signing Yves Bissouma has taken White under his wing at training.
They both play the same position and enjoy sitting in front of the defence.
It’s unlikely Conte will chuck White into the team ahead of such a massive game this evening.
He’ll be hoping he can revert to only playing two midfielders this evening.
His tactical switch to playing three central midfielders since Kulusevski’s injury hasn’t worked.
White will be glad to have avoided Davies’ tackle in training not just to avoid injury.
It’s a sign that he’s working at the same speed as his teammates in a competitive squad.
