Ange Postecoglou has opened up on the importance of Bryan Gil to the current Tottenham team as the youngster makes his return to first-team training.
Gil is yet to play a single minute under his new Tottenham boss thanks to an injury he picked up before pre-season training even began.
In fact, the Spaniard has found North London game time hard to come by ever since he joined Tottenham, having been sent out on multiple loan spells back in La Liga.
However, with the recent injuries to Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic on the left side of attack, Gil could find himself with opportunities to break into the starting XI once he is up to fitness.
Postecoglou has used a number of options on that side so far this season, including Solomon, Perisic, Heung-min Son, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson – who has also just returned from injury.

Postecoglou sounds like a fan of Bryan Gil
Postecoglou said (Football London): “He [Gil] can be really important for us. He’s one like I said the last couple of weeks it has been great to have him just working really hard at training.
“He’s missed all of this season so far and it’s well chronicled that we lost Ivan and Manor who play in that left-wing position. Having Bryan fit and available again is great for us.
On Lo Celso, he added: “He is obviously very highly regarded with the Argentinian set-up because they always call him up and he played in both games.
“He didn’t play significant minutes but he played in both and played 15-20 in the second game. It is great for him and his confidence.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
Bryan Gil could get a real chance to stake a claim on that left-wing spot with Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic out. Of course, he will still have to push hard and compete with Brennan Johnson, Richarlison and even Heung-min Son, but Postecoglou seems to like him.
