Tottenham's coach Postkoglu admitted that he has never experienced such a situation with as many as 10 injured players.

The 14th round of the Premier League in the 2023-24 season is about to continue. Tottenham has as many as 10 injured players. This is a huge challenge for the club. Coach Ange Postkoglu even admitted that he has never been injured in his career. I have encountered such a serious injury crisis.


Uruguayan player Rodrigo Bentancur, who plays for Tottenham , recently suffered an ankle injury and will miss about two months. However, Tottenham now has as many as 10 players unable to play due to injuries. In addition, Romero was sent a red card in the game against Chelsea, so he is still suspended.


Tottenham's injured include Perisic (knee injury), Mitch van de Veen (thigh injury), James Maddison (ankle injury), Ryan Sessegnon (thigh injury), Manoel Solomon (knee injury) ), Richarlison (groin injury), Papu Matar Sarr (muscle injury), Ashley Phillips (ankle injury) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle injury).


At the pre-match press conference between Tottenham and Manchester City , Postkoglu believed that this was the most serious injury crisis in his career. "I didn't think too much about it, but honestly, it's a situation I haven't been in before," Postkoglu said.


"There won't be such a large number in such a short period of time. Over the course of a season, you go through periods where you're missing players, but so many players are missing in such a short period of time. It's probably the first time I've experienced that. Such a thing."


"That's what I love about football. No matter how old you are, no matter how long you've been here, there's always something you have to deal with. Being out with 11 men this time will make me better."


At the beginning of this season, Tottenham can be said to have performed well and kept winning games. However, in the three Premier League games in November, Tottenham lost to Chelsea, Wolves and Aston Villa respectively. Tottenham, originally ranked first, has dropped to fifth place, 4 points behind first-place Arsenal.
