Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou has two new problems to solve amid injury crisis - Injuries are a clear issue with the squad but what's on show on the pitch is alarming
Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, is currently facing a significant injury crisis as the team prepares for their upcoming match against Aston Villa. Key players such as James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, and Richarlison are sidelined, with Maddison and Van de Ven out until the new year due to ankle and hamstring injuries respectively, and Richarlison undergoing surgery for a groin issue. This situation has forced Postecoglou to consider alternative strategies and line-ups, particularly in defense where he might have to rely on players like Eric Dier or Ben Davies, or even shift to a back four formation. Additionally, the absence of these players has led to a dip in team performance, with Tottenham losing their last three games, highlighting the urgency for Postecoglou to find solutions to maintain the team's competitiveness in the Premier League.
