Graham Potter has confirmed that Jeremy Sarmiento will be in the squad to face Tottenham tonight as he continues his recovery from injury.

The Ecuadorian had surgery after injuring his hamstring when he made his Premier League debut against West Ham in December.

After returning to training, the 19-year-old played 45 minutes for the under-23s against Everton last Friday.

Graham Potter's Tottenham press conference

“He has looked really good since he came back after what was a long injury,” said Potter.

“We have got a lot of belief in him, but it is about him taking those steps one at a time.

“He will be involved in the squad tonight and then he will probably go away with his national team during the international break and he may get some minutes there, but we have high hopes for him.”
