Tottenham Players Train Ahead of Champions League Clash with Slavia Prague
On Monday afternoon, Tottenham held a training session at Hotspur Way under rainy conditions, preparing for their upcoming Champions League match against Slavia Prague.
Following a successful 2-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday, Tottenham aims to secure another home win against Slavia Prague on Tuesday.
Tottenham has an impressive European home record, remaining undefeated in their last 22 matches across various competitions, with 18 wins and 4 draws, scoring 60 goals and conceding just 13.
Coach Thomas Frank led the training, which featured some notable absences and a surprising appearance.
Key Absentees
Destiny Udogie and Brennan Johnson were absent, with Johnson reported to have had an uncomfortable movement before being substituted in a previous match. Other players like Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski also missed the session, the latter having shared a video of himself swimming in a cold lake the night before. Yves Bissouma remains sidelined with an ankle injury.
Unexpected Return
James Maddison was spotted on the grass alongside a sports science staff member ahead of his Sky appearance. He joined the training, interacting with players and sharing a light moment with Frank. Maddison hopes to return before the season concludes after suffering an ACL injury.
Overall, training was filled with energy and enthusiasm, particularly from captain Cristian Romero, who showcased his playful side by diving to make a header during drills. Micky van de Ven also contributed to the spirited atmosphere with playful banter and light-hearted frustration after a competitive rondo session.
