Ange Postecoglou delivers bad news for Tottenham, confirming Wilson Odobert’s injury is a significant one.
Spurs came back from a goal down to turn the game around in the dying minutes of the match and win 2-1.
Coventry took the lead in the 63rd minute and were on the verge to cause a major upset. But Djed Spence came to the rescue in the 88th minute, scoring the equaliser with a tidy finish.
And 4 minutes later, Brennan Johnson completed the comeback. The goal would not have been possible without Bentancur’s strong play in the middle who snatched the ball from the opposition before playing the perfect pass for the Welshman who made no mistake with his finish.
While Spurs did come out of the tie victorious, they did suffer an injury blow.
Wilson Odobert who started the match was taken off injured in the first half in what appeared to be a hamstring related issue.
And manager Ange Postecoglou has now confirmed that the injury looks like a fairly significant one. When asked about the injury, he said (via The Athletic):
“Hard to say. Wilson looks fairly significant so we’ll just wait and see.”
This will come as a big blow for Tottenham ahead of what is going to be a busy period with three games in a week including match against Manchester United next weekend.
If the injury is serious as it appears, the exciting winger could be out for a while.
