Injuries

[Sean]

Andre Villas-Boas is expecting Michael Dawson and Gareth Bale to return to his plans for Tottenham Hotspur's home date with Stoke.
Influential winger Bale has sat out Spurs' last two Premier League fixtures with a hamstring injury, but he is due to resume training this week.
Dawson has also missed meetings with Everton and Swansea with a similar complaint, but he too is close to linking back up with the first-team fold.
Should both men come back into contention against Stoke, and with Scott Parker and Benoit Assou-Ekotto having overcome long-term injuries, Villas-Boas could find himself in the enviable position of having a fully fit squad from which to select for the busy festive period.
After seeing Spurs claim a 1-0 victory over Swansea City on Sunday, Villas-Boas said: "Michael is returning next week, Bale next week. Benoit is not far off."Scott is an important player.
The injuries we have had, now it is a major, major bonus for us."Competition obviously increases for players but it is going to be the first time we have had these players available, which is going to be an extremely important thing for us."

Hopefully Kaboul won't be far behind.

[NorseYid]

Ade will be sorely needed, particulary vs. Stoke.

Fuck, I really hate Stoke, don't I

So, how many players are injured right now?
Benny, Dawson, Vertonghen, Kaboul, Defoe, Ade (?), Bale.. anyone else?

 

[AryelAbrahami]

Ade has family issues, Sandro, Holtby, Paulinho not match fit but not injured, hearing Soldado may have had complications at medical but that is just twitter talk.

Jesus..we have a lot of work to do in the final friendly :avbshock:

So Kaboul is in training, Defoe has tweeted he's back in training. Any news on Dawson?

 

[ArcspacE]

So has Ade flown back to Togo for his 'issues'?

You mean his dead brother? Probably.

Crickey - didn't know about that

Terrible news, poor fella

 

[pdxspur]

No worries, it happened right when the team got to China. I think he played the Sunderland friendly after it, but left to do with it after China is my guess.

Edit - I need glasses

Well both Daws and Vertonghen seem to be able to stand up so that's a start. Although Vertonghen does seem to need to hold onto chirpy.

He's not leaning on him, he's holding him back from eating that child.

I feel those eyes are not those of hunger but more rape.

 

[Arjun]

Vertonghen said he's starting to be able to run, aims to be back for Palace but it'll be close

 

[Tucker]

Why not both



Also we need a Chirpy Smiley.
