Moussa Dembélé Set for Return Against Former Club Fulham
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Dembélé is poised to make his return to Premier League action this weekend, as reported by Africa Top Sports. The Belgian international of Malian descent is expected to feature in Spurs’ home clash against Fulham on Saturday, the opening fixture of Matchweek 35.
The encounter marks a reunion for Dembélé, who previously wore the Fulham shirt before transferring to Tottenham in 2012. Now a key figure in the Spurs midfield, he is returning to full fitness just in time for a critical stage of the season.
In a statement to Tottenham’s official website, Dembélé acknowledged the emotional and competitive significance of the match. “I think it will be a good match because both teams absolutely have to win,” he said. “We always want to win our matches, but we know it’s an important match for them too. It won’t be easy.”
Fulham, currently entrenched in a battle for Premier League survival, will arrive at White Hart Lane desperate for points. Dembélé’s insight into his former club’s style and resilience may prove vital as Spurs aim to secure a strong finish to their league campaign.
The 26-year-old midfielder’s return comes as a boost to manager Tim Sherwood, who is seeking consistency and control in midfield as Tottenham look to cement their position in the top half of the table. Dembélé’s blend of technical skill and physical presence has been sorely missed during his injury absence.
As both clubs fight for very different objectives—Tottenham pushing for European qualification and Fulham clinging to survival—Saturday’s match promises to be a high-stakes affair. For Dembélé, it’s a chance to reassert his influence and remind fans of his quality in what could be a pivotal fixture for both sides.
