Ange Postecoglou now has bad news on the injury front, with Wilson Odobert man suffering a serious setback on his road to recovery.
Tottenham new boy suffers setback
When Wilson Odobert dazzled in his Premier League debut against Everton, he would have been hopeful of quickly making his mark at Tottenham.
However, after a promising start, the winger picked up a hamstring injury which kept him out for more than a month.
The Frenchman finally returned to action last week, coming on as a substitute in the Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar, but he once again suffered a set-back, missing the 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Ange Postecoglou explains Wilson Odobert’s situation
Postecoglou has now made a worrying revelation about the £25m summer signing, revealing that the winger has had a significant setback this week.
The 59-year-old explained that he is waiting for more information about the injury but admitted that is a ‘serious one’.
Postecoglou said ahead of the Carabao Cup clash against Manchester City (via The Standard): “It seems like it is a serious one so we’re just waiting for more information.”
MORE SPURS STORIES
When asked if it was the aggravation of the same hamstring problem, the Spurs boss responded: “It’s not exactly the same [injury] but the same area.”
Big blow for Tottenham
Odobert’s absence is a big blow for Spurs as he is one of the few wide players at the club who can run at the opposition and go past defenders, which adds a different dimension to Tottenham’s attack.
