These are difficult times for Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham Hotspur players as they aim to bounce back from two poor performances and results in defeats against Bournemouth and Chelsea.
A Dean Huijsen goal was enough to ensure Spurs emerged empty-handed from their midweek visit to the Vitality Stadium, before a poor second-half display allowed Chelsea to come back from two goals down to secure all three points from their short trip to north London.
Despite taking control of Sunday’s game with early goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski, Postecoglou’s men fell to a defeat as Cole Palmer’s brace and a goal apiece from Jadon Sancho and Enzo Fernandez helped the visitors to the points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Even a late strike from Son Heung-min wasn’t enough to rescue a share of the spoils for Spurs.
A big fortnight lies ahead for Postecoglou’s squad as they travel to Rangers for a Europa League tie on Thursday before returning to Premier League action with a visit to Southampton on Sunday. A hectic period is rounded off with a Carabao Cup quarter-final clash with Manchester United and a home game against current league leaders Liverpool. The former Celtic manager will hope for some positive news on the injury front over the coming days - but could Postecoglou be able to call upon the services of any of his players that have missed the last two defeats?
Richarlison
The Brazil international suffered a hamstring injury after providing an assist in last month’s 4-1 home win against Aston Villa and was initially said to be out of action until the new year. That early prediction is believed to be true as the former Everton man is not set to return until the middle of next month. Predicted return date: Mid-January.
Guglielmo Vicario
Vicario has not appeared since the impressive win at reigning Premier League champions Manchester City last month after picking up an ankle injury. Speaking after the blow, Postecoglou said of the Italian: “It's not going to be weeks. It'll be months. With surgery, there are certain timelines. I don't like giving timelines so early in the process, as it puts undue pressure on the player... Once he starts getting [on the training pitch], we'll have a clearer idea.” Predicted return date: Mid-March.
Mikey Moore
The Spurs academy graduate has seen his season disrupted by an illness that has kept him on the sidelines since he was named on the bench for the home win against Aston Villa in November. However, Moore is expected to return to contention over the coming week. Predicted return date: Mid-December.
Ben Davies
The 92-times capped Wales international had put in some impressive performances before suffering what was believed to be a thigh injury in the defeat at Bournemouth last week. That forced him to miss Sunday’s home loss against Chelsea and Postecoglou confirmed Spurs are awaiting news of a scan before giving any indication over when Davies could return. Predicted return date: Unknown.
Wilson Odobert
The summer signing suffered a hamstring injury and underwent surgery earlier this month to rectify the issue. However, there is no set date for a possible return to action and the winger will continue to be monitored by Spurs medical staff. Predicted return date: Unknown.
