'I understand...' - Lilywhite Rose predicts when Mikey Moore will return at Tottenham

John Wenham predicts Mikey Moore will return for Tottenham against Roma on Thursday.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose claims Ange Postecoglou needs the 17-year-old back in his first-team squad.

Postecoglou provided an update on Moore while speaking ahead of the Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday [23 November].

When asked if Moore was impacted badly by a virus he recently had, the Australian said, [via Football London, 22 November], “Yeah he was and because he’s young as well, we just need to be careful with these things. He’s back up and about, back in the building and everything, but we’ll take our time with him.”

However, Wenham – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – still thinks the forward could return next week.

“I understand he has just had a virus which has kept him out for quite some time,” Wenham said.

“Therefore, I imagine he will return in the next game after Manchester City, which would be against Roma in the Europa League. Hopefully that is what happens because we need him in the squad.

“He has been making a positive impact and we need him back.”

Mikey Moore to return for Tottenham against Roma?

With injury issues piling up in North London, Postecoglou will be keen to get Moore back as quickly as possible.

Although he is only a teenager, the winger has become an important part of Spurs’ first-team squad this season, featuring often.

And with games set to come thick and fast over the coming weeks, Postecoglou can’t afford to have too many players on the sidelines, especially with Rodrigo Bentancur now suspended, although this is a punishment which could yet be modified.

Therefore, if Moore is to return against Roma at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium [28 November], that would be a huge boost for everybody connected with Spurs.
