Spurs fans were frustrated to see Steven Bergwijn limp off during their 1-1 draw with Burnley at the weekend.
The Dutch winger, who joined from PSV during the January transfer window, once again played the full 90 minutes and looked to be carrying an injury following the game, something which Jose Mourinho later confirmed. The Portuguese manager said: “Steven had to play for 90 minutes, so on top of that he’s injured.” (per Football.London)
Since joining, the 22-year-old has impressed at times; averaging a 6.96 rating in the Premier League, but he struggled in Saturday’s game at Turf Moor; earning a disappointing 6.16 rating. Mourinho’s side travel to Leipzig for the return leg of their Champions League tie on Tuesday night, so the manager will no doubt be desperate for the Dutch international to be fit, considering the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son are both still unavailable.
Do you think Bergwijn will be fit to face Leipzig on Tuesday?
Yes
No

Of course it’ll be a bad one.
He’s had to play every game, a lot out of position, with no respite because our Board failed to buy a striker in last three windows— days without a striker (@MattyFrench82) March 7, 2020
We’re screwed if this is anything serious. Could barely move by the end

These Spurs fans are clearly frustrated with their current injury situation and will no doubt be hoping that Bergwijn’s injury is a minor one.
What do we think?
Bergwijn, who is valued at £31.5 million (as per Transfermarkt), has been forced to regularly play 90 minutes since joining in January and it seems as if it may have caused him injury, which would further add to Mourinho’s selection problems.
