Ange’s injury update on Odobert and Werner

Ange Postecoglou believes Wilson Odobert sustained a ‘significant’ injury in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup third round win over Coventry City.

While we overcame the Sky Blues in dramatic fashion at the Coventry Buildings Society Arena thanks to late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson to book our place in the fourth round, there were downsides as both Wilson Odobert and Timo Werner were forced off through injuries.

Wilson, signed this summer from Burnley, was taken off midway through the first half while Timo, who was making his first start since April, was forced off late on in the game.

At full-time, we spoke to Ange for an update on the duo’s respective situations.

“I’m not really sure (on the extent of the injuries at this stage). Both of them look liked muscle injuries which is the way things are going for us – we’re getting multiple injuries in the same position,” Ange said. “We’ll see how they are. I think, definitely it looks like Wilson’s is a significant one. We’ll see how Timo is.”
