After Ivan Perisic’s injury forced a cancellation of the match against Arsenal, a young Tottenham forward will now have the opportunity.
Days before the North London Derby, Tottenham suffers an unforeseen knock to their star forward.
Ivan Perisic suffered a knee injury during a non-contact training session, and Tottenham has acknowledged that he will likely miss the remainder of the season.
Perisic, who was brought in by former manager Antonio Conte, has remained the consummate professional for the team and has made three points possible when he has come off the bench, including last weekend’s victory over Sheffield United.
The Croatian’s deal with the team expires next summer, and this injury could mean that he has already played his final match for the organization.
Alejo Veliz, who was acquired from Rosario Central of Argentina, provides cover for Tottenham.
However, as the club gets ready for the north London derby, the loss of the seasoned Perisic would unquestionably be a huge setback.
We can confirm that Ivan Perisic has a complex anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in his right knee, according to a club statement.
“The seasoned Croatian player, who will have surgery, was hurt during non-contact training. Ivan will then start his recovery with our medical team, and it’s anticipated that he won’t be able to play for the rest of the year.
The Spurs have had a great start to the season, winning four of their first five games, which is the best start to a campaign they have had in the last ten years.
After recent managers who came in with a track record of success failed to deliver, manager Ange Postecoglou is anticipated to be given the time to develop a team that plays in the “Spurs way.”
