Tottenham eagerly anticipates the return of several injured players ahead of their crucial FA Cup clash against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City next weekend. Despite grappling with absences stemming from injuries, the AFCON, and the Asian Cup, the Lilywhites managed to secure a hard-fought point against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United in their recent outing.

Under the stewardship of manager Ange Postecoglou, who has made a lasting impression since settling into his new abode in north London, Tottenham has undergone a remarkable transformation in their style of play. Departing from the counter-attacking approach favored during Antonio Conte’s tenure, the team now exhibits a more audacious and adventurous brand of football, often taking calculated risks by building play from the back, reaping the rewards by unlocking opposing defenses.

Looking ahead to their upcoming FA Cup encounter with Manchester City, Tottenham draws confidence from their impressive record of five home victories against Pep Guardiola’s side. However, this task will prove challenging, as City is hitting their stride and welcomes the return of the influential Kevin De Bruyne, who has recovered from his hamstring issues.

The recent reunion of defensive stalwarts Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, marking their first appearance together since November of the previous year, was a palpable game-changer for Spurs. This defensive partnership had been fundamental in laying the groundwork for the team’s strong start to the season.

Furthermore, the absence of James Maddison, the creative force behind eight wins in the initial ten league matches, due to an ongoing ankle concern, has been keenly felt, while Manor Solomon has been unable to participate in on-field training for the past three months.

Seeking the return of their sidelined talents, Tottenham is hopeful for the recovery of several key players. In light of this, here is the compilation of injured stars and their anticipated return dates.
