Bergvall Ruled Out for Season
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has announced that midfielder Lucas Bergvall will miss the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury. Bergvall was not included in the squad for the recent victory against Bodo/Glimt and is unable to participate as the team prepares for future matches.
Injury Details
The injury occurred in the lead-up to the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals, and Postecoglou confirmed that it involves significant ligament damage. He remarked, “Lucas looks like the injury is significant to keep him out for the rest of the season.” The news poses a setback for a team vying for success in their competitions.
Other Injury Updates
Alongside Bergvall’s situation, Tottenham is also monitoring the health status of key players Dominic Solanke and James Maddison, both of whom exited the recent match early due to injuries. Postecoglou provided insights into their conditions, indicating that Solanke’s injury does not appear serious but is a doubt for the upcoming game. Maddison’s case is more concerning, prompting a scan on his knee.
Captain’s Recovery
Additionally, team captain Heung-Min Son continues to recuperate from an injury that has sidelined him for several matches. However, Postecoglou shared positive news regarding Son’s recovery, noting, “He is out on the grass and feels better every day. We will see about Thursday.” The return of Son could provide a much-needed boost as the team progresses through critical fixtures.
Looking Ahead
As Tottenham heads into upcoming matches, maintaining player fitness is paramount for their aspirations in both domestic and European tournaments. The unfortunate injury to Bergvall and concerns about Maddison and Solanke’s availability will require careful management from the coaching staff.
