Since his head injury during an English top-flight game where the Claret and Blue Army stuttered to a 2-1 defeat by West Ham United in November 2020, the Egyptian is yet to feature for the Villa Park giants.

Upon his return to first-team training at their Bodymoor Health training ground on Thursday, Trezeguet contracted the virus alongside several first-team players and staff. “After being hit in the head with six stitches, I was exposed to a tear and a hindquarter and I was not able to play for a month, then after rehabilitation and the beginning of the return to ...

‘I don’t want to see him’: Mourinho suggests he has sent Spurs player to the academy
Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has revealed in his press conference today that he has sent Alfie Devine back to the academy. Devine made his debut in the FA Cup victory over Marine on Sunday, where he broke two records for the club. He became the youngest ever player to represent the Spurs senior team at just 16 years and 163 days old as he came on in the second half. The record was previously held by Devine’s academy team-mate Dane Scarlett who featured in the Europa a couple of months back. He became the club’s youngest ever goalscorer as well when he drilled home with a right-footed finish. Mourinho, who was full of praise for Devine after the game, has revealed today that he has sent him back to the academy and does not want to see him for two to three weeks. “I...
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho expects Aston Villa match to go ahead
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho expects their Premier League fixture against Aston Villa to be played. The match is understood to be in doubt after an outbreak of coronavirus at the Midlands club. Villa played their FA Cup game with Liverpool on Friday night with a youth team, losing 4-1. It is understood that Spurs are yet to hear anything from the Premier League regarding the fixture, so Mourinho will begin preparations on Monday. He may have been making more of a point about the lack of information from the league, but asked after Sunday’s 5-0 win at Marine when he expects his side to next play, Mourinho said: “Wednesday.” Asked again whether he thinks the Villa game will go ahead, he replied: “Yeah. Nobody told me that I’m not going to play so (on Monday morning) we start to prepare for t...
Jose Mourinho approves Christian Eriksen’s return to Tottenham
Christian Eriksen could see his time at Tottenham end this January. Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has approved the Dane’s return to North London. Christian Eriksen’s return to Tottenham seems close. In a deal which could also see Dele Alli go to PSG and Leandro Paredes move from PSG to Inter, the Dane would leave Inter. He has failed to settle there. Another reason for his return is that Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho has given his approval for Eriksen to return to Spurs, ‘Sky Sport’ reports. Eriksen left Spurs for Inter Milan, but the midfielder has struggled to perform under Antonio Conte. As he is struggling to get opportunities at Inter, Eriksen is keen for a return to Tottenham.

Where Next For Diego Costa?
After an underwhelming third spell at Atletico Madrid, Diego Costa is back on the market as a free agent. One of football’s most divisive characters, the forward has been cherished for his goalscoring ability, as well as reviled for his antics on the pitch. The Spaniard was once one of the most feared strikers in the world, hitting the 20-goal mark on two occasions as he won two Premier League titles at Chelsea. However, his best days seem far behind him, scoring just 12 league goals in 61 appearances since returning to Atletico Madrid. Furthermore, the 32-year-old comes with a lot of baggage. His salary was an estimated €300k per week, he has a concerning injury record, and has missed several games in his career through suspension. But, if he can get back to his best, then he should ...
Tottenham Hotspur Have 5 Games to Save Their Title Challenge
Cast your mind back three weeks: Tottenham Hotspur comfortably saw off bitter rivals Arsenal, taking them to the top of the Premier League. Harry Kane and Heung-min Son were once again the superstars, and Jose Mourinho was back at the top of his game. The Lilywhites were flying. Fast forward to the present day, and the picture looks very different now. Four games without victory, four drab performances, and four places dropped. The Mourinho masterclasses are starting to look like flukes, and the Spurs title shouts are beginning to seem very reactionary. Another frustrating result for Mourinho Sunday’s draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers really summed up Spurs’ recent form. After taking an early lead through some pretty poor goalkeeping, Tottenham adopted a defensive strategy, showing litt...
Tottenham boss ‘angry’ with Dele Alli for creating ‘problems for his own team’
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has hit out at Dele Alli, accusing the midfielder of creating “problems for his own team” in his side’s 3-1 win over Stoke in the Carabao Cup. Alli was handed a rare start at Stoke on Wednesday and looked dangerous on occasions in attack, seeing a goal-bound strike saved by Andy Lonergan in the first half. However, he was at fault for Stoke’s goal when a flick gifted possession to the home side – and it was an action that angered his coach. “For me a player who plays in that position is a player that has to link and create and not create problems for his own team,” Mourinho said in his post-match press conference. “They got us on the counterattack, so yes I was angry. “First half we were solid. They didn’t touch the ball, have a shot, have a corner. Instead of ...
Tottenham Lining Up Marcel Sabitzer as Tanguy Ndombele Replacement
Tottenham Hotspur are looking at RB Leipzig’s Marcel Sabitzer as a potential replacement should Tanguy Ndombele leave the Lilywhites, according to Mundo Deportivo. Ndombele arrived at the North Londoners in the summer transfer window of 2019 from Lyon in a deal worth up to £63m – a club record. His time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been mixed, with some standout performances, but also extended periods of time out of the starting XI. A feud with manager Jose Mourinho did little to help his cause. Ndombele has not had an easy ride in North London Nonetheless, the Frenchman is still a man in demand. Reports in May suggested that Barcelona were ready to make a move for the midfielder should Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal leave the Camp Nou. Both players departed, and neither were adequa...
Jose Mourinho drums support for under-fire Steven Bergwijn
Tottenham Hotspur coach Jose Mourinho said the team are supporting Dutchman Steven Bergwijn who missed two clear chances in Wednesday’s top-of-the-table clash at Liverpool and received criticism on social media after the 2-1 defeat. “I don’t know what I can do apart from the player knowing in this club we are all together,” Mourinho told a news conference ahead of Sunday’s game at home to Leicester City. “We lose, we win and we draw all together. So he has us and we have him. In here we don’t feel any individual criticism, we never feel it that way, it is always about us, so no problem. “He’s one of my boys, period. There is no point to boo, to individualise. He’s a good professional, he works hard for the team, he gives everything he can.” Second-placed Spurs slipped three points behind L...
