Tottenham Hotspur continue to deal with an ever-growing injury crisis, and Thomas Frank has now provided clarity on Lucas Bergvall\u2019s condition after the midfielder suffered a concussion against Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Spurs had only just received some positive news on the fitness front ahead of that match, with Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, and Wilson Odobert returning to the bench. But just seven minutes into the game, another blow arrived as Bergvall was forced off with a head injury.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old, who was making his first Premier League start since September, had to be withdrawn due to concussion protocols and played no further part in the match.<\/p>\n
Thomas Frank issues Bergvall update<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of Tottenham\u2019s Champions League fixture on Tuesday, Frank confirmed that Bergvall will be sidelined for the next two games.<\/p>\n
While earlier reports suggested he could miss three matches \u2014 the UCL clash and two Premier League fixtures \u2014 Frank has clarified the situation, telling Football.London:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is out for the next two games now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bergvall, last season\u2019s Tottenham Player of the Year, has struggled to gain momentum under Frank, and this latest setback will only add to the frustration for the young Swede.<\/p>\n
International break could offer relief<\/p>\n
The two fixtures he will miss include Tuesday\u2019s Champions League tie and this weekend\u2019s Premier League clash against Manchester United. After that, club football pauses for the final international break of the year, giving Tottenham some much-needed recovery time as injuries continue to pile up.<\/p>\n
With several key players already sidelined, the break may arrive at the perfect moment for Spurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
