Two Tottenham players, Lucas Bergvall and Mateus Fernandes, were notably absent from the club’s latest training footage, raising questions among fans as the team prepares for their upcoming Premier League match.

The training video released from Hotspur Way highlighted the absence of both players, with Bergvall’s omission particularly concerning given Spurs’ early-season struggles and a growing injury list, which includes key player Dejan Kulusevski, who is close to returning from injury.

• Lucas Bergvall: A notable absence, raising eyebrows among supporters.
• Mateus Fernandes: Granted personal leave for the joyful occasion of welcoming his first child.

According to Alasdair Gold, a correspondent for Football London, Fernandes’ absence is a positive one, as he takes time off to celebrate his newborn. He is expected to return to first-team preparations shortly.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi is keen on improving the team’s performance while navigating multiple fitness concerns. The return of Kulusevski, who has been sidelined for over a year due to a serious knee injury, is a promising sign for the squad.

As Tottenham awaits further updates on Bergvall’s condition, fans are eager for clarity ahead of the weekend’s match. De Zerbi is set to address these concerns in his upcoming pre-match press conference, although there is currently no indication that Bergvall is injured.
