Tottenham fans are worried about what Djed Spence was spotted doing after 5-0 win over Southampton

Djed Spence made his long-awaited Premier League debut for Tottenham Hotspur and the defender marked it with an assist and clean sheet.

Spence’s chances in North London have been few and far between since signing for the club over two years ago, however, the moment he had been waiting for finally arrived against Southampton. That chance was taken with both hands as Spence left Tottenham fans impressed with his performance

Postecoglou was forced into resting Pedro Porro who has looked shattered over recent weeks and the 24-year-old was brought in to replace him.

However, the night ended on a slightly worrying note for the former Nottingham Forest man after what he was spotted doing following the full-time whistle at St Mary’s.

Djed Spence limping after Tottenham beat Southampton

Djed Spence was spotted limping over to the Tottenham supporters in the away end at Southampton to applaud them. Postecoglou simply cannot afford any more injuries and losing Spence could be a major blow.

Pedro Porro has played almost every minute in the Premier League so far and despite being benched from the start, he was introduced for the injured Destiny Udogie after just 28 minutes. Udogie went down after feeling his leg and was forced off with a knock.

The Australian now has just two full-backs in Porro and Spence, so losing one more ahead of two massive fixtures would be a devastating loss. Spence was taken off in the 77th minute to make way for Premier League debutant, Alfie Dorrington.

Postecoglou will now be facing an anxious wait over Spence’s potential injury with home matches against Manchester United and Liverpool set to take place next week.

What did Ange Postecoglou say about Destiny Udogie’s injury?

Postecoglou has revealed that Udogie’s injury does not appear to be serious and he asked to come off as a precaution. The 59-year-old claims that the team are not in a position to be taking any risks with injuries right now and he was withdrawn before the half-hour mark.

Postecoglou told BBC Sport: “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.”

When Tottenham welcome Manchester United to N17 on Thursday, it is now looking like Spence and Porro will have to be the two full-backs.
