Spurs injury news: Postecoglou confirms huge injury blow and reveals ‘concern’ over another in worrying update

Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Lucas Bergvall is likely to miss the remainder of the season with the ankle injury he sustained in training.

The midfielder was absent from Tottenham’s 3-1 Europa League semi-final first-leg win over Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night and Postecoglou says it does not look like he will be seen again this season.

“Yeah, Lucas, it obviously looks like the injury is significant enough to probably keep him out for the rest of the season,” Postecoglou said. “He just tweaked the ligaments in his ankle, so he is out.

“(It was) just something you see all the time. It wasn’t a tackle, he was on his own, he just went to turn and just his ankle gave away, so it’s just one of those things. you know, similarly to Dom and a couple of others who we’ve had in training where things just happen.”

Both James Maddison and Dominic Solanke were forced off in the win over the Norwegian side, meanwhile, with Postecoglou stating after the game that he did not think the injuries were too serious.

However, in his latest update, the Spurs boss says Maddison’s injury is a concern and that he has been sent for a scan.

“Dom is not too bad, still sore from last night but we don’t think it’s anything too serious,” Postecoglou said.

“Obviously a doubt for the weekend, but we’re hoping it will settle down pretty quickly.

“Madders is a bit more of a concern because it’s the knee. We’ve sent him for a scan and just waiting to hear the outcome.”

Heung-Min Son, meanwhile, continues to recover from his foot injury and will again miss out this weekend against West Ham, though could be back for next Thursday’s second leg against Bodo/Glimt.

“Sonny is working hard,” Postecoglou said. “He’s progressing and still doing individual (training), but he’s out on the grass, feels better every day and we’ll see how he’s going for Thursday.”

Bergvall’s injury blow comes just after he put pen to paper on a new contract with the club, and Postecoglou says he has huge sympathy for the 19-year-old.

“I think every experience in life and football makes you stronger, makes you appreciate what you have,” Postecoglou said.

“He’s got an unbelievable career ahead of him for sure, but I say to the guys all the time, you know, we’ve got to take what’s before us now because we can all assume that it might happen next year or the year after, but you just don’t know.

“Sometimes life works in mysterious ways and it’s denied Lucas the opportunity to play in a big game last night

“He’s been a massive contributor to us, but I’ve got no doubt he’ll come back stronger from that. Sometimes we look at footballers and their careers and we think they’ve got it all good, but every player has to go through setbacks at different times for different reasons and it’s all part of what makes them stronger and allows them to grow and I’m sure it will with Lucas.”
