Emerson Royal Injury: Tottenham Hotspur are currently going through a tough time as a club. The London-based club sacked their manager recently and are struggling in the league for producing a consistent result. They are also most likely to lose their main man Harry Kane next summer as they failed to win any trophy despite signing big managers. Amidst all this, the injury list is also becoming longer for the club. The most recent player to join the list is Brazilian full-back, Emerson Royal.

Moreover, the estimated recovery time is around six weeks, which will make him miss most of the remaining games of Tottenham. He might be back into the squad in the last few games but might miss his place to Pedro Porro, who was preferred by Conte over him recently.
Despite this, Royal admitted he had a good relationship with the recently sacked manager, Antonio Conte. He told Globo Esporte, “As for Conte, I have a good relationship with him, he’s not that coach that we have a very close relationship with, of talking a lot, it’s his way. He’s a coach who wants to help everyone, instructs, he shows the role he wants in each one’s game.
“I don’t see any problem, I have a good relationship with him,” he added.
Emerson Royal has been producing good numbers from the right side of the pitch for Spurs. He scored 2 goals and assisted once in Premier League this season in 22 appearances. This might not be the best figure for a wingback in Premier League, but Royal has been impressing with his runs and presence on the pitch.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma are two other names who have been missing games for Spurs due to injury.
