Tottenham have arguably been the unluckiest Premier League side this season with injuries.
Their players have suffered injuries throughout the season and missed a huge part of the campaign.
It is one of the reasons why they are currently 14th in the league and struggling to make it to Europe for next season.
Ange Postecoglou has struggled to field a fully fit XI throughout the season and it is about to get worse for him and his team.
Dominic Solanke, Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Wilson Odobert and Fraser Forster are all currently out with an injury but Postecoglou’s problems do not end there.
Having missed both his starting centre-backs for some time, he is now going to be without Radu Dragusin for a long time.
The Tottenham defender picked up a serious injury last week in his team’s Europa League match.
He went down with a painful injury after twisting his knee awkwardly in a clash against IF Elfsborg, forcing him to leave the pitch in the second half.

Postecoglou’s side were without a natural centre-back for Sunday’s 2-0 victory at Brentford, with Archie Gray and Ben Davies stepping in.
With Postecoglou stating that it “doesn’t look good” about the injury to his defender, it seems Dragusin will be sidelined for an extended period and may face challenges returning to peak form.
Tottenham had already been exploring the transfer market for defensive reinforcements, and Dragusin’s injury led them to quickly secure Kevin Danso on loan from RC Lens, with an obligation to buy in the summer.
