Team news | Ange’s positives from the international break, Lucas ‘fine’ after illness | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou had plenty of positives from March’s international break as attention now turns to Chelsea and a busy April.

Seventeen players from our first team squad departed for duty after our last Premier League match at Fulham on 16 March, and Ange was happy to report a clean bill of health on their return.

That included the all clear for midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who was selected for Sweden’s friendlies against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland, but didn’t feature in either due to illness.

Speaking to Inside Spurs on Wednesday morning, Ange told us: “Lucas is fine. He had a bit of an illness, picked up a bug, but he got back at the weekend and got straight back into training."

“It was a good international break for us,” he continued. “Firstly, obviously no-one picked up anything, which is important, but also some guys got some game time which we felt was going to be important, guys like (Cristian) Romero, Destiny (Udogie), Matty Tel, Wilson (Odobert) and all these guys who missed a lot of football recently all got some good game time. The ones who played all did relatively well, they're all back and we’ve had a strong training group in the last couple of days.”
