Tottenham v Aston Villa team news: Doctor shares Pedro Porro injury update
Tottenham defender Pedro Porro may be ready for a late fitness test ahead of the Aston Villa clash on 10 March, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert has mooted a first-team training return for the right-back this week as he aims to recover from a muscular setback.
Speaking to the media on 1 March, Ange Postecogolou claimed that the 24-year-old was perhaps a week away from returning.
Discussing the state of play with Porro exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, said: “It sounds like a muscular injury but there is not much more information than that.
“He should be back in training this week after being ruled out for nearly a month.
“If he is out longer, it’s likely a higher severity injury or in an area that can be more troublesome.
“Should he return to full first-team training this week, it could be a late fitness test ahead of the game on the weekend.“
Major injury boost for Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou
Porro has been among the first names on the team sheet for Postecoglou at Spurs this season.
The Spaniard has featured in 23 Premier League games and has provided three assists.
His last appearance was when he played the 90 minutes in the 2-1 win over Brighton on 10 February.
It remains to be seen if he’s back in the starting eleven for Tottenham or if he’s eased back into the side.
