Tottenham HotspurLuka Vuckovic has been struggling with injury at Hamburg SV this month.
Last summer, the Premier League team let him join Hamburg on loan and the centre-back impressed for them.
Since returning from the last international break, the defender started in a 1–1 draw against FC Augsburg on 4 April.
The Croatian international has since been on the sidelines with a knee injury and has missed two matches, during which the German club has conceded seven goals.
In their last 11 matches they have conceded only 11 goals. This gives an idea of his importance in Hamburg.
On Monday, Sports Witness Covered claims from Germany That his knee is damaged, and his setback is much worse than initially expected.
The Tottenham man will return on May 10
sports news Take a look at these claims and immediately dismiss any concerns of a serious injury to Luka Vuckovic.
The Spurs man has suffered no new setbacks during the recovery process which is going according to plan. He suffered an injury during training and tests revealed a 'minor ligament sprain'.
Hamburg have held talks with Tottenham Hotspur and during these discussions, both clubs agreed that he would miss three to four matches.
Sportske Novosti is not sure when he will make a full recovery. He is expected to miss the next two matches and will return on May 10 against SC Freiburg.
Spurs medical staff decision maker
Hamburger AbendblattA local newspaper of the German club has also pointed to the role of Tottenham Hotspur in arranging the return of Luka Vuckovic.
Hamburg are looking forward to the Croatian's return against Hoffenheim this weekend. The decision will not depend only on him because Roberto De Zerbi's side has a big authority.
As part of the loan deal, Spurs inserted a clause to decide when the 18-year-old would return in the event of injury.
The Tottenham medical staff, along with their German counterparts, are examining the latest MRI scan results. Vuckovic can return to the pitch only after getting the green signal from the Premier League.
We believe: The Tottenham clause makes sense
After this season, Luka Vuckovic will return to the north London club, where he is under contract until 2030.
Spurs want to ensure the player is not rushed back. If the English club refuses to sanction, it would be understandable as it would allow them to protect their assets to avoid aggravating the injury.
