Tottenham and Hamburg find ‘smart solution’ to Luka Vuskovic recovery after green light
Tottenham Hotspur have made a decision on Luka Vuskovic after the Croat missed Hamburg’s last three games due to an injury.
The Spurs medical team have been in contact with Hamburg about the defender’s rehabilitation as Vuskovic recovers from a knee injury.
In fact, it has been reported that Spurs have to give their approval in order for Vuskovic to play for HSV, with the Lilywhites inserting a clause in the loan contract that gives them that power.
Over the last few days, there have been suggestions that the 18-year-old Tottenham man is close to returning to action, and his manager has now made a big admission about the defender.
Luka Vuskovic returns to training as Tottenham and Hamburg are on the same page
A new report in Hamburger Abendblatt has now revealed that the central defender has indeed started training with his teammates after being absent for over three weeks.
The report says that this was after Tottenham’s doctors gave permission to Vuskovic to resume training, with the youngster having a full session with his teammates on Thursday.
Hamburg boss Merlin Polzin confirmed that Spurs medical staff are in constant contact with their German counterparts and that the teenager is now pain-free.
Polzin told the outlet ahead of his side’s clash against Eintracht Frankfurt: “The fact that he’s back in training suggests everyone’s on the same page. Luka is pain-free, but he was out for quite a while. We don’t want to make any risky decisions, but rather find a smart solution.”
Why Hamburg are desperate to have Vuskovic back
The reason the local media have been obsessing about the Tottenham star’s return is due to his huge importance to their side as well as the club’s current predicament.
HSV are still not assured of safety in the Bundesliga and is still in danger of finishing in the relegation/promotion playoff spot unless they pick up points in their final three league games.
Hamburg’s record without Vuskovic has been extremely poor of late, and Polzin would undoubtedly be desperate for the 19-year-old to start at Frankfurt.
