Tottenham handed double injury return boost ahead of Arsenal clash

Tottenham could be boosted by two vital squad returns for their Premier League derby clash with Arsenal on September 15.

Ange Postecoglu's team head into the international break on the back of a 2-1 EPL loss away at Newcastle United with just one league win so far this season.

The coming days will give Postecoglu a chance to prepare for a crunch home tie against their arch rivals and assess changes to his squad.

The Australian coach has also been aided by some positive injury news, with Dominic Solanke and Micky van de Ven both in line to return against the Gunners.

Spurs completed a club-record £55m ($71m) deal to sign England international Solanke from Bournemouth in August on the back of scoring 19 EPL goals for the Cherries last season.

Despite the confidence over an immediate impact from Solanke, he was injured in the season-opening draw at Leicester City, and missed out against Everton and Newcastle.

As per the latest update from the London Evening Standard , Solanke has now recovered from an ankle issue, and Posteecoglu is ready to bring him back in after the break.

Van de Ven was a late withdrawal for the trip to Newcastle, and the 23-year-old has since pulled out of the Netherlands squad for UEFA Nations League duty, to focus on being fit for Arsenal.
