Tottenham Hotspur vs West Ham injury news as 3 out and 2 doubts

Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are straight back into Premier League action after the international break as the London rivals meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a 12.30pm kick-off on Saturday.

Spurs endured a tough afternoon at Brighton and Hove Albion ahead of the international break as they threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 on the south coast. Meanwhile, West Ham had a poor start to the Julian Lopetegui era, however, they did win their last game before the international break 4-1 against Ipswich Town. It was a much-needed morale boost as the Irons look to get one over on their London rivals.

There are injury concerns for both teams ahead of the game, with Spurs set to be without one of their star players while one of West Ham’s summer signings continues to struggle.

Son Heung-Min - OUT

Son has been ruled out of Saturday’s clash against West Ham as he has been dealing with a thigh injury which has forced him to miss the past three games.

It also meant that he couldn’t join the South Korea squad for their international matches during the break. Ange Postecoglu said: “He's pushing hard, but the turnaround might be too quick for him to be available at this stage.”

He is likely to return to training this week, meaning he could only miss one more game.

Richarlison - OUT

Brazil international Richarlison has also been ruled out against West Ham as he is dealing with a calf issue that he suffered at the end of August. He likely won’t be back until at least early November.

Wilson Odobert - OUT

Odobert suffered a thigh issue in September and has been recovering since missing the past five games. However, he does look likely to return to training this week alongside Son which is positive news.

Lucas Bergvall - DOUBT

Bergvall suffered a minor injury whilst on international duty with Sweden during the break. He has emerged as a doubt but could be in line to play against West Ham. According to SportsMole, his issue is not expected to be serious but it is unknown as to what Bervall’s current injury consists of.

Niclas Fullkrug - DOUBT

Fullkrug is currently being assessed by the medical staff at West Ham as he could be in line to return against Spurs on Saturday. Julian Lopetegui said before the international break: “Hopefully, he'll be ready after the international break.”
