Spurs Bolstered as City Lose Akanji: A Pivotal Squad Shift

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou may be facing pressure from fans and the club’s hierarchy, but he can take solace in the fact that some of his key players are gradually regaining full fitness.

Ahead of the highly anticipated clash with Manchester United on Sunday, the Australian manager has stated that he hopes to be able to call upon the services of James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, and Destiny Udogie.

Conversely, Ruben Amorim’s Sporting CP will continue to be without defensive reinforcements, as Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martínez, and Luke Shaw all remain sidelined.

Elsewhere, Liverpool are close to full strength for their fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Manchester City enter their tricky test against Newcastle United with doubts surrounding Jack Grealish and Manuel Akanji.
