Steven Bergwijn has provided Tottenham fans with a positive update, as he continues to recover from an ankle injury sustained during the 1-1 draw at Burnley.
The Dutchman made a perfect start to life in a Tottenham start and scored on his debut in the 2-0 win over Manchester City. However, he was told that his season had ended prematurely after he stumbled off Turf Moor.
Nonetheless, the 22-year-old may still play a role in the remaining 2019-20 games, with the season suspended until at least April 30 due to the coronavirus outbreak.

“I am making progress,” said Bergwijn Spurs’ official website. “As you can see, I can now walk and (I have) my new boot, so that’s good news.
“The moment I got the kick (to Burnley) I thought it was serious. I was in so much pain and I couldn’t sleep that night. It was bad, but we are making progress and I will come back stronger.
“I had a great time here. I still have (despite the injury) – but these things are happening. It’s football. ‘

The winger has been limited to seven appearances for Tottenham since he signed with PSV Eindhoven in January in a £ 27 million deal and scored twice.
Football matches have been suspended all over the world, while the corona virus continues to pose a threat to public health and Bergwijn has called for conspiracy in adversity.
“It’s a difficult time for everyone,” he added. ‘I now see in the Netherlands that it is crazy how people should stay at home. I don’t know … hard times.
“We have to stay together during this difficult time, but it’s not just about us, it’s about families and the people outside (the club). It is no longer about football. It is about your health and that is important. ‘
