Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic receives double boost after strange injury concern

2 hours ago 27

Luka Vuskovic has received two pieces of good news over the last 24 hours following a moment of madness from the Tottenham starlet in his home debut for Hamburg last Saturday.

Vuskovic found the back of the net in Hamburg’s 2-1 win over Heidenheim, making history by becoming the first HSV player to score in the Bundesliga for seven years.

However, the 18-year-old missed another golden opportunity to double his side’s lead in the first half and proceeded to punch the goal posts in frustration.

After the game, Vuskovic admitted that he may have broken his finger when he punched the goal frame, which would have certainly been an embarrassing way to pick up an injury.

Luka Vuskovic receives good news on his finger

However, according to a report in Bild, Vuskovic has received good news on his feared injury. Examinations have revealed that the Tottenham Hotspur loanee has not fractured his finger and has only sustained minor bruises.

The teenager has thus been given the ‘all clear’ by Hamburg’s medical staff and is available to face Union Berlin on Sunday, and that is not the only piece of good news he has received.

Vuskovic called up to the Croatian national side

Vuskovic made his senior debut for Croatia in the summer, and it appears that the Tottenham man has impressed manager Zlatko Dalic.

We know that because Dalic has now named the young centre-back in the Croatia squad for October’s World Cup qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Gibraltar.

The Balkan nation would be able to seal their qualification to the World Cup with two wins, and the Spurs youngster appears to have a great chance of being on the plane to the United States next summer.
