‘We have already won the match’ -TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR HIT BY DOUBLE INJURY BOOST AHEAD OF ARSENAL AND FANS ARE STUNNED BY HOW IT HAS HAPPENED

Tottenham have received a double injury boost ahead of Sunday’s North London Derby clash against Arsenal
Tottenham Hotspur are set to welcome back key players Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke for Sunday’s highly anticipated North London Derby against Arsenal. Both players missed Spurs’ defeat to Newcastle before the international break, but they have now returned to full fitness.

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou provided an update on the team’s fitness situation, confirming that the pair are ready for the derby clash. “Micky’s good; he’s trained all the way through the international break, and it was good for him to stay with us to build him back up, so he’s ready to go,” Postecoglou told the club’s official website.

“Dom’s improved as well and trained the back half of this week. We still have two days to go with those guys, so hopefully they get through training OK and are available,” added the Spurs boss.
However, a late decision will be made regarding Yves Bissouma’s availability after the midfielder picked up an issue while on international duty with Mali. Postecoglou stated, “He’s got a bit of an issue, but we’ll have a look at him over the next couple of days and see how it settles.”

In contrast, Arsenal face several injury concerns ahead of their trip to Tottenham. Summer signing Mikel Merino suffered a serious shoulder injury during his first training session with the club, which is expected to keep him sidelined until late October.

Speaking ahead of the derby, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta provided an update on Merino’s recovery. “Mikel Merino is doing better. It’s a slow process, but we’re using this time to help him understand the system and ideas so he’ll be ready to contribute when he returns.”

Arteta’s selection problems are compounded by the absence of Declan Rice, who is serving a one-game suspension after being controversially sent off against Brighton. Additionally, there were concerns about Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori, both of whom sustained injuries while on international duty.
However, Arteta confirmed that Gabriel Jesus has resumed first-team training following his recent injury. “Gabi [Jesus] was out there. He’s got another training session tomorrow, and if everything goes well, he’ll be with us against Tottenham Hotspur,” Arteta revealed.
