Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool star Jamie Carragher believes that the enforced three-month break has boosted Tottenham Hotspur’s chances of finishing the Premier League campaign in the top-four.
Jose Mourinho’s side are currently eighth in the league table, seven points off the Champions League places, but will fancy their chances of landing one of the four spots for next season’s elite European competition given the current shape of their squad.
Injuries to key players in midfield and attack stripped Tottenham to the bare bones prior to the break, but Moussa Sissoko, Tanguy Ndombele, Harry Kane, Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min are all back and raring to go.
