Ange Postecoglou has eased fears on an injury for youngster Lucas Bergvall sustained during Tottenham's pre-season win at QPR.

Swedish starlet Bergvall hobbled off 24 minutes into the 2-0 win at Loftus Road. It's not clear what the nature of the injury was.

Bergvall was replaced by compatriot Dejan Kulusevski but Spurs boss eased any fears from fans that the former could be set for a lengthy lay-off.

“Just a bit sore, I don’t think it was anything significant,” Postecoglou said on Bergvall's injury after the game.

Bergvall agreed a five-year deal to join Spurs from Swedish club Djurgardens in February for a reported fee of £8.5million, officially joining the north Londoners on July 1.

He impressed Spurs fans on his debut for the club which saw them beat Scottish Premiership club Hearts 5-1 on Wednesday night.

Postecoglou's side took the lead at QPR on 41 minutes thanks to an impressive effort by Yves Bissouma.

The ex-Brighton midfielder slalomed his way through the QPR defence before rounding goalkeeper Paul Nardi and slotting home with his left foot.

And academy star Dane Scarlett wrapped up the victory in the 87th minute in west London with a left-footed finish from close range.

Spurs will now travel to the Far East with their next pre-season outing seeing them face Japanese outfit Vissel Kobe next Saturday.

They then face a select XI from the K-League, the South Korean top-flight, on July 31.

Spurs then take part in the Audi Cup, which is first staged in South Korea on August 3, and will face Bayern Munich, meaning a potential reunion with the club's all-time top scorer Harry Kane, as well as ex-defender Eric Dier.

And just seven days later, they face the German giants again where they welcome the Bavarian outfit to north London.

Tottenham's first competitive outing of the season sees them face Leicester in the Premier League on August 19.
