Good news as Tottenham man to ‘avoid surgery’ – Expected to be out 3-4 weeks
Tottenham Hotspur allowed Alejo Véliz to return to Rosario Central on a season-long loan deal in the summer window and the move has worked out well so far as he’s featured regularly for them.
At the weekend, the striker made his seventh appearance of this season for the Argentine club against Boca Juniors and suffered an injury in the first half.
After the match, Rosario Central manager Ariel Holan confirmed the Tottenham man hurt his collarbone, while claims from Argentina suggested he’s dislocated his right shoulder or collarbone.
Rosario Central took to their official channel on X, formerly known as Twitter, to confirm that Véliz suffered a “Grade 2 acromioclavicular injury in his right shoulder.”
They made no mention of further details like the timeline for recovery or whether the 21-year-old has to go under the knife, and these details are provided by media close to the South American club.
According to La Capital, the Tottenham owned player has suffered a ‘partial tear of the ligaments that support the joint between the clavicle and shoulder bones, specifically called the acromioclavicular joint.’
It’s claimed the frontman is set to avoid surgery, which should please him and Rosario Central, and his injury could be cured by a conservative treatment.
La Capital state Véliz will have to wear sling for a few days, to restrict movement and reduce swelling.
Another outlet, Rosario Nuestro, report the injury suffered by the Argentine would require three to four weeks to recover, and he’s expected to be on the sidelines for this period.
Alan Shearer has been so impressed by the Tottenham youngster with ‘unbelievable technique’
Tottenham Hotspur have made a tremendous start to the new Premier League campaign with several individuals standing out for Thomas Frank’s team.
The North London club made it three wins from four over the weekend as they emphatically saw off West Ham United at the London Stadium.
Goals from Pape Matar Sarr, Micky van de Ven and Lucas Bergvall secured the three points for Spurs in what was an impressive performance.
But Alan Shearer believes that one Tottenham Hotspur star really stood out, and the former Newcastle United striker has been raving about him.
Lucas Bergvall hailed by Alan Shearer
Shearer has hailed Bergvall for his display in Tottenham’s 3-0 win over West Ham on the weekend.
The Premier League legend believes that he showed ‘unbelievable technique’ for the second goal of the afternoon in the London derby.
Cristian Romero played a remarkable pass to pick out Bergvall’s run, but the Swede still had plenty to do, and did impressively well to loop his header over Mads Hermansen.
Shearer told the Premier League: “Showed unbelievable technique with a header to put Spurs 2-0 up and then set up Van de Ven for their third to seal a derby win at West Ham.”
Bergvall became Tottenham’s youngest scorer since Dele Alli to find the back of the net in the Premier League.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has been criticised for not playing Bergvall for Sweden during the latest international break, during which the national team earned just one point from two games.
Swedish fans were also so impressed with the teenager and couldn’t believe he didn’t play a single minute for them over the latest round of fixtures
Alan Shearer has been impressed by Thomas Frank’s Tottenham
Shearer has also been so impressed by Thomas Frank’s start to life at Tottenham and claims they look ‘totally different’ from last term.
First and foremost, the Lilywhites look well organised in defence, which is a complete difference from life under Ange Postecoglou.
