Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has revealed back-up goalkeeper Fraser Forster will be out of actions for a couple of months.
It has been a week of injury issues for the Lilywhites and the Australian boss has shares news of an unexpected injury woe ahead of the Wolves game.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper is believed to have fractured his foot in training and will now miss months of action.
Fraser Forster injury update
Just as players were returning from their respective injury issues, Ange Postecoglou has been hit with a further three problems.
Thursday saw the club hold an open training session at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it did not take long before two key players were spotted missing.
Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro were both absentees from the session and have now been confirmed to be sidelined for Saturday’s game.
Speaking to the media from Hotspur Way ahead of Saturday’s game in N17, Postecoglou said: “The big one is Fraser Forster picked up a knock in training and a fracture in his foot. He’s longer term, a couple of months [out] for him.”
Tottenham injury list
Players like Micky van de Ven and James Maddison made noteworthy returns to the squad in January after dealing with long-term injury issues.
But now it seems as if we are set to be hit by another wave of injury woes with our two starting full-backs missing the game against Wolves.
Fortunately, it seems as if Udogie’s issue may not be too serious with Postecoglou suggesting the Italian could return to action next week.
However, it sounds as if Porro’s may be a bit more severe with the Spanish right-back potentially missing the next couple of weeks.
We have dealt fairly well with injury issues over the course of the season already, so this won’t be anything new to the players.
But it is likely time for Ben Davies and Emerson Royal to stand up and be counted as Postecoglou looks to his options to fill in for the injured pair.
