Tottenham target and Manchester City attacking midfielder James McAtee’s lack of game time is not an immediate injury concern, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert has assessed his fitness record as he’s been linked with an exit from the Etihad Stadium this summer.
The 22-year-old has been a bit-part player for Pep Guardiola who’s preferred to bring him off the bench.

Discussing the state of play with McAtee exclusively with Tottenham News, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, shared his verdict.
“I wouldn’t expect any injury-related issue here and he should clear his medical,” he said.
“While his game time has been erratic, the positive is that there have been no injuries.
“*The added advantage is that he’s accustomed to the Premier League’s tempo and physicality.*“

Tottenham could benefit from signing McAtee this summer
McAtee could be an excellent signing for Tottenham due to his versatility, creativity and high potential.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder offers creativity and a final product, so he could be a vital option for Spurs.
His ability to play as a central attacking midfielder or right winger offers the manager versatility, addressing Tottenham’s need for attacking depth.
With a £25million price tag and a desire for regular game time, McAtee fits Ange Postecoglou’s dynamic system, should he stay on as manager.
His Championship experience and Premier League cameos suggest he’s ready to shine, potentially becoming a long-term star for Spurs.
