Ange Postecoglou provides Tottenham injury news: Bad news at Christmas
Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has been holding his pre-Rangers press conference at Ibrox this evening, but he has some bad injury news for Spurs fans.
Spurs injury crisis continues into Christmas
The North Londoners come up against an in-form Rangers side who have four consecutive wins to their name, which includes a 4-1 win at Nice which saw them go above Tottenham in eighth place in the Europa League table on goal difference.
The past two fixtures in Europe have seen Spurs fail to win having lost at Galatasaray and were held to a 2-2 draw at home at AS Roma last time out.
Tottenham’s injury problems continued in the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday when Cristian Romero was forced off in the first half with a quad problem, while fellow central defender Micky van de Ven who had only just returned from his hamstring issues was also replaced in the 79th minute.
Reports from Argentina have suggested that Romero could be set to miss the next six weeks through injury in what would be a huge blow to Tottenham’s hopes of turning their season around.
Let’s take a look at the latest Tottenham injury news from Ange Postecoglou himself.
Postecoglou delivers Tottenham injury news
Postecoglou told the latest Tottenham injury news to Football London: “Not much better. With the weekend’s fallout, Romero and Van de Ven, we’re still getting clarity over the injuries but we’re going to be without them again. At the moment we’re still trying to get timelines on those guys so I wouldn’t put a time on it yet.”
The Tottenham boss is able to call upon Rodrigo Bentancur to freshen up his midfield with the Uruguayan able to play in European competition despite still serving his domestic ban.
The Europa League game between Rangers and Tottenham is scheduled to kick off at 8 pm GMT at the Ibrox Stadium and will be shown live on TNT Sports 1.
