It's been a tough few weeks for Tottenham Hotspur fans as their star player, Son Heung-min, has been absent from the last three games. However, there's some good news on the horizon as the team prepares to face West Ham United this afternoon. Son is now back and ready to play after recovering from a hamstring injury he sustained during the Europa League match against Qarabag. He had to miss the games against Manchester United, Ferencvaros, and Brighton, as well as South Korea's World Cup qualifying matches against Jordan and Iraq.
But the 32-year-old has been working hard during the international break and is now fully fit to take the field again. This is a major boost for Tottenham as they look to secure a win against West Ham. In addition, their striker Richarlison, who has been out since the second game of the season, is also available for selection. His manager, Ange Postecoglou, confirmed that the Brazilian is "good to go again" after recovering from an injury.
Unfortunately, Wilson Odobert won't be able to join the team this weekend as he's still recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered in the Carabao Cup match against Coventry. But there's good news for Lucas Bergvall, who returned to training earlier than expected after a minor injury. Postecoglou assured fans that the youngster is fit and ready to play.
Moving over to West Ham, the team seems to have a clean bill of health ahead of the London derby. Their summer signing, Niclas Fullkrug, has been struggling with an achilles problem and hasn't been able to make an impact on the team since his arrival in August. Manager Julen Lopetegui was hoping to have him back in the squad after the international break, but unfortunately, there have been some complications with his injury.
On a brighter note, James Maddison has been in top form this season, creating more chances than any other player. He's expected to start today's game against Ipswich Town, along with new signings Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Kulusevski, and Bentancur. Meanwhile, West Ham's predicted starting lineup includes Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson, Rodríguez, Bowen, Soucek, Pacqueta, Kudus, and Antonio.
For those wondering where to watch the highly anticipated match, it will kick off at 12:30pm on Saturday 19 October and will be broadcasted live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate. Fans can also stream the game on the Discovery+ app. With both teams having key players back from injury, it's bound to be an exciting and competitive match.
