Thomas Frank has confirmed that Destiny Udogie is back in the Tottenham squad for Saturday's home match against Bournemouth. The left-back has failed to feature for Tottenham since their opening pre-season friendly at Reading due to a knee injury.
Udogie picked up the issue in the warm-up ahead of the friendly at Luton Town in late July and subsequently missed the pre-season tour of Asia and also Tottenham's first three competitive games of the new campaign. Frank did provide a positive update on the player ahead of last weekend's win at Manchester City but the game just came too soon for the 22-year-old to return.
Speaking ahead of this weekend's Premier League encounter against Bournemouth, Frank gave a fresh update on his left-back.
"Yes, he could feature, he's in the squad and that's very positive for us," admitted the Dane.
One player who won't be fit to be included in the squad is Yves Bissouma. Frank revealed: "He's out for the next game, I don't have a specific timeline for him, but I don't think it will be that long."
