Ange Postecoglou provided the latest team news for Tottenham ahead of the clash with Ipswich Town. There were some questions about a few players ahead of the defeat to Galatasaray which needed further clarification from the Australian.

Postecoglou said that both Timo Werner and Cristian Romero were in contention for the weekend but their absence in Turkey raised questions. Luckily, it seems there is some good news following the Thursday night defeat.

"Everyone came through unscathed so no issues there," he said. "Cristian we'll see how he goes in the next couple of days. He has a chance for the weekend."

There was however, worse news for the other pair of problems. "Mikey, not right for the weekend," Postecoglou said. "Timo too."

Richarlison suffered a problem once again. It was evident in Postecoglou's thoughts that he was gutted to lose him again. "Very disappointed," he said. "We tried to take a different approach.

"He trimmed down. We were doing everything right, trying not to overload him but unfortunately he broke down again. He's disappointed."

The Spurs head coach also gave further clarification on Micky van de Ven. While he will not be ready for the weekend, hopefully it will not be too long after.

"Yeah, it will be after the international break," he said. "When after, it will be dictate his progress during that time."
