Ange Postecoglou says Lucas Bergvall was a bit sore after coming off early against Queens Park Rangers in Tottenham’s pre-season friendly today, but the overall assessment was far more positive.
Bergvall was named in the starting XI for the first time this afternoon when Spurs made the trip to QPR for their second pre-season friendly of the summer.
Unfortunately, the youngster, who Spurs signed back in February, only lasted 24 minutes before an injury forced him to end his full debut early.
Dejan Kulusevski replaced his fellow Swede for the rest of the first half, but it appears the injury is nothing too serious to be concerned about moving forward.
When asked about the injury to Bergvall, Postecoglou admitted that the Swedish youngster was a bit sore after coming off, but hopefully escaped any kind of significant injury.
This bodes well for Spurs and Bergvall, with the pre-season tour of Asia fast approaching. The former Djurgardens player will be hoping to make his mark and earn a place in Postecoglou’s first team.
Ange told SpursPLAY after the game (20/07/24 – 5:09 pm): “Just a bit sore, I don’t think it was anything significant.”
Spurs went on to win the match 2-0, with a goal in either half from Yves Bissouma and Dane Scarlett, making it two wins from two in pre-season for Tottenham.
Spurs Web Opinion:
It sounds like it was just a precaution to take Bergvall off early. You don’t take any chances in pre-season.
This is going to be a huge pre-season for Lucas, so hopefully he is back in training this week and ready to make his mark on the pre-season tour.
