wonderful news Tottenham’s player has return back for injury last week.

November 16, 2023 admin TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR F.C. 0

An injured Tottenham Hotspur player is hoping to return sooner than expected as manager Ange Postecoglou struggles with a slew of absentees.

Spurs were dealt injury blows by Postecoglou.
Prior to their 4-1 loss to Chelsea 10 days ago, the north Londoners were on a roll. Postecoglou has the best start of any new manager in Premier League history, winning eight of ten league games and remaining unbeaten.

However, their face off with ex-manager Mauricio Pochettino changed the entire dynamic of their early season, with star summer signings James Maddison and Micky van de Ven injured during their defeat to Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both are now expected to be out until 2024, while fellow stars Destiny Udogie and Cristian Romero picked up red cards.

Consecutive defeats have followed since, and it’s clear that Postecoglou was seriously missing the aforementioned quartet during Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to Wolves last Saturday.

Spurs are reportedly looking for a left-sided central defender in January, as van de Ven’s injury has highlighted their defensive depth. Trevoh Chalobah of Chelsea, Lloyd Kelly of Bournemouth, Uruguayan star Sebastian Caceres, Ben Godfrey of Everton, and Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace have all been linked with moves to Spurs as a result.

Both van de Ven and Maddison join Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, Richarlison, Alfie Whiteman, and Ivan Perisic on the injured list, with the latter projected to miss the rest of the Premier League season.

The Croatia international sustained a complex ACL injury earlier in the season after being used regularly by Postecoglou, and his quality off the bench was proving a real asset at one point.

In what was described as a “big blow” by reporter Michael Bridge, losing Perisic came as some very bad news, with some believing he may have played his last game in a Spurs shirt.
