'Must be eradicated' - King moots behind-the-scenes issues after 'Serious' Tottenham injury news

Bryan King has speculated that training methods at Tottenham might be leading to increased injury concerns.

The ex-Spurs scout has pointed out that injury concerns in North London are becoming a “recurrence”.

It comes after Ange Postecoglou revealed that Wilson Odobert had suffered a “serious” setback in his return from injury (via Football London, 29 October).

And King – speaking exclusively to Tottenham News – claims these injury problems are something which need to be addressed.

“Odobert is a young player,” King said.

“He is going to be training, working, and playing at a higher level than where he came from, and that is no detriment to Burnley. Therefore, it is natural that he is going to be stretched and put in situations that he probably wasn’t at Burnley.

“These things are going to have an impact on his body. Whether he has been overworked, we don’t know. However, there seem to be young players at Tottenham who are picking up injuries quite frequently.

“Maybe there is an issue with the training methods behind the scenes? Injuries are becoming a recurrence, and that is something which must be eradicated.”

Wilson Odobert suffers “serious” injury setback at Tottenham

Postecoglou has suffered with a plethora of injury issues since arriving at Spurs. Therefore, it is natural to question whether things could be done differently behind the scenes.

The Australian’s style of play is an aggressive one which requires a lot of running. As a result, this increased demand on the players could be partly to blame for the number of injuries piling up.

Son Heung-min is another player who just can’t seem to stay fit this season.

Therefore, while injuries are a normal part of football, Postecoglou might want to take a closer look into the frequency of issues his club are experiencing.

In other Tottenham news, Postecoglou wants a Brighton star as the Seagulls’ stance emerges.
