After a very good first part of the season in England, Tottenham will have to do without two starters for several months.
If he had been promised a second place in the Premier League after eleven days, Angelos Postecoglou (photo) would probably have signed. The Australian coach of Tottenham and his players have had a rather surprising run, a small point behind Manchester City in the standings.
The technician of Greek origin, who discovered the English Championship this summer, obviously takes the slap received Monday evening at home against Chelsea (1-4, 11th day). Spurs’ first defeat of the season was accompanied by two other problems: injuries to James Maddison and Micky Van de Ven.
The situation is serious regarding two of Tottenham’s starters this season. The English midfielder (ankle) and the Dutch central defender (tendon) will be unavailable until the start of next year, Ange Postecoglou said at a press conference on Friday.
