Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou offers update on Destiny Udogie and Pape Matar Sarr after Fulham win

Tottenham expect both Pape Matar Sarr and Destiny Udogie to be fit to face Crystal Palace in a London derby on Friday night.

Both players were forced off in the second half of Monday night's 2-0 win over Fulham, with midfielder Sarr struggling with illness and left-back Udogie feeling some muscle tightness.

But Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou expects the pair to recover in time for the trip to Selhurst Park on Friday.

Postecoglou said on Sarr: “He is OK. He was not 100 per cent well going into the game, he had an illness the last couple of days.

"But he was keen to give everything to start and I had a feeling he would last 60 or 70 minutes. It is a short turnaround to Friday but I am pretty confident he will be OK.”

On Udogie, Postecoglou said: “He felt a bit of tightness.

"Again, when we got the second goal with the short turnaround, we thought it was wise to take him off. Again, I do not think it is anything significant.”
