Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur have flocked to an image of Tanguy Ndombele in training which emerged on social media.
In Spurs’ most recent outing, Jose Mourinho’s side was victorious in the north London derby as they defeated Arsenal 2-0 at home (per BBC).
However, one man who did not feature at all for Tottenham was Ndombele as he was neither in the starting XI nor was he on the bench.
Mourinho later revealed that the player “decided he was not ready” after having “a problem he couldn’t recover from” following the match against LASK on Thursday (via Express).
On Wednesday, Hotspur Related shared an image of the player in training and that had many fans gushing.
What did these Tottenham fans have to say about the image of Tanguy Ndombele?
