AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet campaign with Spurs Emerson scored one goal and picked up four yellow cards in 22 appearances (11 starts) this past season.

Impact Emerson found himself playing a variety of positions this past season due to injuries in Spurs' backline. He started three matches at his natural position of right-back, four at left-back and four at center-back when Spurs had a massive injury crisis at the end of November and through December. Given the circumstances he played fairly well and proved to be an important part of the squad. If he returns to Spurs next season he will likely serve mainly as a backup to Pedro Porro at right-back.

Although his side conceded three goals, Emerson had a solid outing, highlighted by his nine clearances, a mark that shatters his previous season high. Romero has now completed his three-match suspension and Dier's injury does not appear to be a long-term one, so Emerson is set to return to the bench for the foreseeable future.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid defensively as substitute Emerson had four tackles (three won), one clearance and two interceptions in Monday's 4-1 loss against Chelsea.

Impact Emerson came onto the pitch for James Maddison with Spurs down to 10 men before halftime and finished the match with a solid defensive output despite the scoreline. With Cristian Romero (suspension) and Micky van de Ven (hamstring) both likely out for three or more matches, Emerson is likely in for more playing time in the near future, possibly playing in central defense with Spurs lack of depth in that area.

Set for knee surgery Emerson will undergo knee surgery for a meniscus injury suffered last week with Brazil and could miss the rest of the season.

Impact It's a tough injury for Emerson that likely sees him miss the rest of the season for Tottenham. He's been in and out of the starting XI the second half of the season as he fights Pedro Porro for minutes. That leaves Cristian Stellini in a tough position with just Porro as an option on the right wing, something that may force him to change things up at times. Emerson is on two goals and one assist from 22 league appearances (16 starts) for the season.
