Spurs are off to a great start under Ange Postecoglou, and on Saturday afternoon, Sheffield United will come to North London for Tottenham Hotspur’s first Premier League match since the break.
The Lilywhites have done better than any other team so far this season, trailing only Manchester City, with Postecoglou’s team having won three and drawn one of their first four games.
With a 5-2 thrashing of newly promoted Burnley to start the month of September, Spurs continued their streak of scoring at least twice in every game under Postecoglou.
The Blades, who are still winless in the Premier League this year thanks to a 2-2 draw with Everton last time out, are the opponents for Tottenham on Saturday. Here, Sports Mole summarizes the most recent injury and suspension news for Tottenham before of the match
Rodrigo Bentancur

Rodrigo Bentancur has been recovering from an ACL injury for the past seven months, but there is a chance that the Uruguayan might return to the first squad in October.

Alfie Whiteman, the backup goalkeeper, is also recovering from surgery, just like Bentancur, Sessegnon, and Gil. He underwent surgery to repair an ankle issue, but Spurs have not set a timeline for his recovery.
