Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou may have been hit with yet another injury worry after the game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Just as we have seen our squad return to near-full fitness, it seems as if one of the starting XI was forced off with a potential injury at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It was the Australian’s left-back, Destiny Udogie, in question with the Italian making way late on in the game against the Seagulls.
Udogie suffers potential injury
It really has been a season where injuries have crippled our side, but it seemed as if we were just getting back to full fitness prior to the game against Brighton.
Yet the Italian was spotted pulling up late on in the game before he was replaced by Postecoglou with Ben Davies.
Posting on his X account, journalist George Sessions posted: “Ange has to change his plan as Udogie just appeared to pull up after a tackle by Romero!”
Udogie would be a huge miss
Although it is just his first season in the Premier League, Udogie looks like he has been around for years.
It has taken the Italian no time at all to settle into life in the English top flight having made 20 league appearances under Postecoglou.
In those games, the 21-year-old has been able to find the back of the net twice along with providing three assists.
And Postecoglou has not shied away from singing the praise of his young left-back, even back in September he was saying: “Physically he’s got outstanding attributes but he obviously played a different style of football in terms of a lot of times he was used as an attacking wing-back.”
We, of course, have solid back-up in the experienced Davies, but it has to be said the Welshman does not quite offer the same level of attacking threat.
Fingers crossed this isn’t anything serious for Udogie as he has been one of the many bright sparks in this fresh start under Postecoglou.
