As Tottenham Hotspur head into their next Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace on March 2, they’ll hope to have Pedro Porro back from injury.
Porro and fellow full-back Destiny Udogie were missing from the Spurs line-up in the defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers, and the break from competitive action this weekend – as intended opponents Chelsea are contesting the Carabao Cup final with Liverpool – gives both players a chance to work on their fitness.
Porro already has seven assists for the Lilywhites this season, per WhoScored , so his importance to Ange Postecoglou’s side can’t be overstated.
His marauding runs down the Spurs right-hand side have become a feature of the way in which the Australian manager wants to play, and his absence was keenly felt against Wolves.
He could be back sooner than first thought too, as a comical exchange on Tik Tok, cited by the Daily Mail, highlighted the player’s thinking.
Asked by a fan whether he should be transferring the player out of his Fantasy Premier League team, Porro responded with the plea; ‘Don’t sell me,’ which he accompanied with a laughing face and a muscle emoji.
Tottenham fans will be hoping that this is a sign that the player himself, who was shown working out in the gym, could be back sooner rather than later.
