Spurs team news vs Crystal Palace
Yves Bissouma is back in action following his one-game suspension, but he still runs the risk of receiving a one-match ban if he receives a yellow card at Palace. If this happens, he will be unable to participate in the derby against Chelsea, which will mark Mauricio Pochettino’s first visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since he was fired by Daniel Levy in 2019.
Palace has struggled to score goals lately, as evidenced by their one goal in their last four Premier League games.
As per regulation, the Spurs team’s availability to the media is disclosed prior to their matchup with Roy Hodgson’s team.
The Australian disclosed that Pape Matar Sarr, who was also substituted, has recovered from a brief sickness, and that Destiny Udogie, who was substituted against Fulham, would be evaluated prior to the game.
Charlie Eccleshare, a reporter, was informed by Postecoglou that “Pape is fine – bounced back 24 hours after the game.” a little unwell, but has good training. We’re still going to evaluate destiny.
“It’s fair to say that training teeters on the brink, and Davies took a sore one after missing Fulham with a knock. Everybody else has fared well.
