Injury Expert: Tottenham defender likely to miss Aston Villa clash due to groin issue

Tottenham defender Djed Spence is likely to miss the game against Aston Villa on 3 November, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.

The injury expert claims that given his lengthy setback, it would take time for him to gradually be reintegrated back into the system.

The 24-year-old may not even be back in full first-team training which would make him a major doubt for the game.

Discussing the state of play with Spence exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.

“Given how long he was out for with his groin issue, it will take him some time to gradually be reintegrated into matches and be able to play the full 90 minutes,” he said.

“Ange also asks a lot from his backline in terms of running distance and sprints so that also plays a part in how long it may take and he may not yet be back in full first-team training.

“I still think he’s likely to sit out the next one just to be on the safer side.“

Djed Spence has struggled to get regular minutes at Tottenham

Spence has played four games this season but is yet to make a single start for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

He’s even found the back of the net in a Carabao Cup clash and Postecoglou will be hoping to see more of him in the coming months.

The 24-year-old moved to North London with high expectations but has struggled to fit in properly into the first-team setup.
