Joao Palhinha - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting Wednesday Palhina (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Frankfurt.

Impact Palhina was already training in full this week, making it no surprise that he is with the team Wednesday. With 17 starts in 27 appearances between UCL and league play this season, a starting role should remain for the midfielder, especially with Rodrigo Bentancur (hamstring) and Lucas Bergvall (ankle) out.

Training in full Palhinha (undisclosed) was spotted training in full on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Frankfurt, according to Sam Tabuteau from The Standard.

Impact Palhinha missed the last three games due to an undisclosed injury but the midfielder was spotted training in full on Tuesday during the last training session ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Frankfurt. This is good news for the Spurs since he will add a new option to the midfield for coach Thomas Frank, although he should regain a rotational role now that Pape Sarr is back from international duty.

Not available Saturday Palhinha (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Burnley.

Impact Palhinha is not available for Saturday's clash against Burnley as he is still working his way back to full fitness. Despite progressing through his injury this week, he is not deemed ready after late testing. He therefore misses a third straight match and that allows newcomer Conor Gallagher to get a larger role from scratch with the Spurs.

Tight call for Burnley match Palhinha (undisclosed) is in doubt for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Joao is progressing, could be close for Burnley, but I think it will be...

Impact Palhinha has been progressing through his injury this week, but is not yet fully fit, still needing to gain a bit more fitness before he is deemed an option for Saturday. This will likely lead him to some late testing ahead of the match, with that to decide if he is an option or not. He has missed their past two games, and after being a late call, he will likely only find the bench if fit.

Inactive in training Palhinha (undisclosed) appeared to be inactive in training Monday, according to Alasdair Gold of Football London.

Impact Palhinha looks to be unavailable for the club heading into Tuesday's UCL contest, as the midfielder was dealt a training injury ahead of their match this weekend. He is still not training, as he was only viewed wearing slides and his training gear to begin the session Monday morning. If he is absent again Tuesday, the club will hope for Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray to start in the midfield.

Suffers knock in training Palhinha suffered a knock in the last training session and is ruled out for Saturday's clash against West Ham United, according to Spurs Army.

Impact Palhinha won't be able to feature against West Ham United on Saturday since he suffered a knock during the last training session and was left out of the squad. The Portuguese was in the starting squad in three of his last four appearances but might see limited minutes moving forward due to the arrival of Conor Gallagher during the transfer window.

Scores excellent goal Wednesday Palhinha scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Wednesday's 3-2 loss versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Palhinha scored a wonderful overhead kick in the 78th minute Wednesday, a goal that appeared to be the equalizer before Antoine Semenyo won the match for Bournemouth late. It marked Palhinha's third goal in the Premier League this season and it marked his first shot on target since Nov. 8. He also won nine duels, blocked two shots and won one tackle as he played the full 90 minutes for the first time since Nov. 23.

Assists in Sunday's loss Palhinha assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-1 loss versus Arsenal.

Impact Palhinha and the Spurs' defense had a very rough outing Sunday, but Palhinha salvaged something positive with an assist on Richarlison's long range strike. It was the only chance he created in the match. He was very active on the defensive end as he won 11 duels, made three clearances and won six tackles, but he and the defense conceded four goals to their arch rivals.

Goal and assist Tuesday Palhinha scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Tuesday's 4-0 win versus FC Copenhagen.

Impact Palhinha did not start Tuesday's match, but that didn't stop him from impacting the match greatly. He assisted Micky van de Ven's wonder goal in the 64th minute, then scored a goal of his own three minutes later off a Cristian Romero assist. They marked his first two goal contributions in the Champions League this season, to go along with his three Premier League goal contributions thus far. He has only started one of four UCL matches so far this season, likely to keep his legs fresh for the Premier League schedule. However once more important UCL matches start popping up, he will likely find his way back into the starting XI.

Assists in Sunday's loss Palhinha assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa.

Impact Palhinha set up the opening goal of Sunday's match as his headed pass assisted Rodrigo Bentancur's goal in the 5th minute. It marked his first assist since joining Spurs and his third goal contribution of the young season. He played very well on the defensive end too as he won 11 duels, intercepted two passes, made one clearance and won six tackles in his full 90 minutes of action.

First goal with Spurs Palhinha scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Manchester City.

Impact Palhinha made his first start since being loaned to the club, with the midfielder earning 89 minutes of play. He would score his first goal for the club as well after capitalizing on a James Trafford mistake, leading to his first goal contribution with the club as well. The midfielder also got it done in the defense with two clearances and four tackles, appearing to be a solid option for Thomas Frank in the middle and doing well with life as a Spur.
