Tottenham face Arsenal when Premier League action resumes next weekend and they are on course to be able to include Ivan Perisic in their XI.
Perisic has instantly become a key player for Antonio Conte’s side this season. After signing in the summer for nothing, Perisic has ensured he’s already considered a vital cog in Conte’s Spurs system.

However, Spurs fans were on edge a bit this week after Perisic went down injured in Croatia’s clash with Denmark. Coincidentally, it was a clash with fellow Spurs star Pierre Hojbjerg which left Perisic walking rather gingerly towards the end of the fixture.
But in a move which should allay any Tottenham fans’ fears, Perisic has taken to Instagram to show everyone he seems to be doing just fine. The image shows Perisic controlling the ball on the run and, seemingly, taking part in full training.

Of course, Perisic has another game with Croatia to navigate before he can declare himself 100% fit for the forthcoming North London derby. Perisic will line up to face off against Austria this evening.
All eyes from Tottenham fans, then, will be firmly fixed on the winger and how he gets through another nervy fixture.
TBR’s View: Perisic Key For Tottenham Against Arsenal
Make no mistake, this Tottenham side is better with Ivan Perisic in it at the moment. He’s shown himself to the top quality ‘amazing‘ player Inter are said to be regretting letting go.
He brings balance and experience to that wide area for Conte and his ability to play off either foot is proving a real bonus for Spurs at the moment.
Hopefully, for Spurs fans anyway, Perisic comes out of tonight’s clash with Austria unscathed and he can be ready and raring to go in the big derby this weekend.
