The board at Tottenham Hotspur has reportedly decided to keep faith with interim manager Igor Tudor for the upcoming “six-pointer” against Nottingham Forest.
Despite a dismal run of form, the hierarchy was encouraged by the character shown during Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Liverpool.
Richarlison’s late equaliser has temporarily quietened the calls for Tudor’s dismissal, though it is understood that only a win against Forest will guarantee he remains in the dugout until the end of the month.
Spurs are currently navigating an unprecedented injury crisis, but there was a glimmer of hope on the training pitch on Tuesday.
Micky van de Ven has completed his domestic suspension and is set to return to the heart of the defence.
Additionally, Joao Palhinha has entered the final stages of his concussion protocol and could be cleared to play this weekend.
Tudor has reportedly told the squad that the Forest match is “the most important game in the club’s modern history,” as they sit just one point above the relegation zone with only seven matches remaining.
