Three Tottenham Hotspur players who took part in the World Cup have had their injury statuses confirmed and clarified by Antonio Conte.
According to earlier reports, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Richarlison all sustained injuries varying in severity in Qatar while representing their national teams.
In quotes from SpursPLAY today posted on Tottenham’s website, Conte said that Davies has fully recovered from a knock picked up while playing for Wales, Bentancur will be back very soon, and Richarlison is still an open question, though it appears he’ll be out at least a month.
“Ben Davies is okay and started to work with us last week. He has recovered.
“Rodrigo has started to work. I think that he’s going to be good for the game against Aston Villa.

“For Richy, tomorrow he’s going to have an MRI (scan) to know very well the importance of the injury. After tomorrow we will see very well the time he needs to recover.”
So this isn’t really especially new information. All of these updates are things that were known already from news organizations close to Tottenham. What’s notable here is only that Conte is now confirming it.
