'He felt something': Ange Postecoglou says £15m Spurs man could now be injured alongside Djed Spence

Tottenham are having a nightmare with injuries this season and things could be about to get even worse after their mauling of Southampton.

Spurs are missing a number of big players with the likes of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven making things tough at the back for them.

Archie Gray has been filling in as a centre-back, while Ange Postecoglou also gave Djed Spence a chance as well.

Spence did well and was lauded by fans but he looked to be hobbling at the end, which could be another blow for the club.

However, it’s not just Spence who has picked up a knock, with another full-back, Destiny Udogie also going off with a niggle.

And according to Postecoglou, Udogie was just not going to be risked.

Speaking to the media after the game, Postecoglou was asked about Udogie.

And the Spurs boss has said that while he’s unsure, his initial feeling is it’s not something too bad.

“He felt something but he wanted to continue. We can’t take risks at the moment. I don’t think it’s anything too bad,” Postecoglou said.

Tottenham could have to look internally as injuries mount up

While all clubs get injuries and they are part and parcel of the game, there is so much data and information available now that Tottenham might be considering taking a look at their methods.

We’ve seen with other clubs before how they look at training and everything linked to it and with Spurs’ high intensity style, it might be something the club needs to adapt.

Tottenham can ill-afford more injury problems and if Udogie and Spence are going to miss any time, it’s a bitter blow which leaves Spurs very much relying on kids.
