Tottenham look set to keep faith with manager Ange Postecoglou despite their latest bruising defeat to Leicester City at the weekend.
A dramatic five-minute turnaround at the start of the second half saw relegation-threatened Leicester claim a shock 2-1 away win to end their eight-match Premier League winless run.
In turn, the Foxes condemmed Spurs to their fourth league defeat on the bounce to intensy the pressure on Postecoglou and his injury-stricken squad.
The north London side were without ten senior first-team players for Sunday’s game after James Maddison missed out due to a knock, while Richarlison and Pape Matar Sarr were forced off early due to a lack of fitness.
Regardless of the squad’s injury crisis, there is now mounting pressure on the club to relieve Postecoglou of his duties with key Carabao Cup and FA Cup games on the horizon.
However, football.london are reporting that the club will still standing by the under-pressure Australian for the time being as the club navigate the end of the transfer window and an ongoing injury crisis.
Tottenham have made just one signing this window, Czechia goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, but are said to be hopeful of signing at least one more player before the deadline closes in a week’s time.
Spurs’ hectic schedule shows no signs of abating, with the club facing a four-day turnaround before they host Elfsborg in the Europa League on Thursday.
The north London side then face a tricky visit to Brentford in the league on the weekend before their midweek Carabao Cup second-leg tie against Liverpool at Anfield.
When asked on Sunday about his job security, Posteoclou conceded that he doesn’t know if he will still be in charge by the end of that mini-run of crucial fixtures.
‘Who knows. I reckon there is probably a fair chunk that will say no,’ he said.
‘When you are the manager of a football club you can be very vulnerable and isolated. I don’t feel that.
