<\/p>\nThe Tottenham Hotspur injury list has got another name on it after one of the first team players pulled out of their international duty<\/p>\n
Mathys Tel, right, was injured during Tottenham’s Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest and has now pulled out of France U21 duty<\/p>\n
Mathys Tel has become the latest name on Tottenham’s long injury list after withdrawing from France U21 duty.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old has been a bright spark during a difficult spell for Spurs<\/a>, but was forced off 67 minutes into Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest<\/a>. The Frenchman appeared to be holding his groin before leaving the pitch and was replaced by his compatriot Randal Kolo Muani.<\/p>\n Spurs assistant coach Bruno Saltor said after the game of Tel<\/a>: “Now, it’s still assessing and seeing if he can go with the national team.”<\/p>\n The attacker had to be assessed by the France physios ahead of the U21s’ European Championship qualifiers against Luxembourg and Iceland and Tel has now withdrawn from the squad, with the France Football Federation naming it as a thigh injury. Lens forward Rayan Fofana has been given his first call-up to replace the Tottenham man.<\/p>\n Tottenham have a break in their season with three weeks between the Forest match and the trip to Sunderland on April 12, which gives Tel longer to recover.<\/p>\n He will return to Hotspur Way where a large number of players are working on their injury recoveries. Guglielmo Vicario<\/a> underwent his hernia surgery on Monday with the hope of being back in action within the next month.<\/p>\n Stepping up into the final stages of their rehabilitation before joining team training at the training ground will be Mohammed Kudus<\/a>, Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison<\/a>, while Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, Dejan Kulusevski and Wilson Odobert, who was on crutches at Sunday’s game, are all working on their recoveries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tottenham Hotspur injury list has got another name on it after one of the first team players…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542666,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[128973,84070,11996,403,99,17654],"class_list":["post-542665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-guglielmo-vicario","tag-mathys-tel","tag-mohammed-kudus","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-spurs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
