Antonio Conte receives massive injury boost with return of Tottenham star to pre-season

Tottenham have received a massive boost ahead of the start of the new season with the return to form and fitness of Matt Doherty.

The former Wolves man was forced off last season against Aston Villa, just as he was enjoying his best form for the club.

The wing-back has forced his way into Antonio Conte’s thinking, and was delivering assists and goals.

His injury momentarily threatened to derail the team’s progress before they found their momentum and ended up picking up the final slot of Champions Leaguefootball ahead of Arsenal.

The knee injury ruled him out for the remainder of last season, but he has been back for pre-season and is looking like a new signing.

His versatility and energy is perfect for the brand of football that is practiced by Antonio Conte and the technical team are delighted with his output so far.

He will have to step up his game even further with the arrival of Ivan Perisic and Djed Spence, who will add further competition for the wing back berths.

Tottenham’s impressive transfer window

Tottenham have wasted little time in improving the quality of the squad with the addition of Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Djed Spence, Yves Bissouma and Clément Lenglet.

The new additions have raised the competition in the team and Matt Doherty will likely have to be quite consistent if he is to keep his slot through out the season.

There was a time when the full-back was looking at the door, but a change in fortunes has made him one of the trusted men of the manager and a growing fan favourite.

Conte is looking to build a team that will not only compete for the top four, but a side that can also put up a challenge for the Premier League table.

The signings and strong pre-season has lifted the confidence of the squad and has also driven high the expectation of fans going into the season.
