Spurs return to Premier League action on Sunday, against Ipswich Town, although head coach Ange Postecoglou may be missing crucial players.
Ange Postecoglou will speak to the media today ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League encounter against Ipswich Town on Sunday. The Tottenham manager is holding his pre-match press conference at Hotspur Way ahead of the club’s return to Premier League play.
Tottenham enters the encounter fresh off a 4-1 Premier League victory over Aston Villa. On Thursday, they suffered their first Europa League defeat, a 3-2 loss to Galatasaray.
Spurs are aware that a win over the Tractor Boys might propel them up to third place in the Premier League table if other results go their way – which would be a significant boost as we approach the third and final international break of 2024.
However, Postecoglou will undoubtedly be questioned about the state of his squad ahead of the match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. A number of high-profile players are in doubt, after Spurs were forced to make significant changes following their defeat to Galatasaray.
Micky van de Ven will miss the Ipswich encounter due to a hamstring injury sustained against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup. Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are both sidelined with hamstring and thigh ailments, respectively.
However, there are further issues. Cristian Romero was rested for the Galatasaray match due to a foot issue. Timo Werner was another player who stayed at home due to a groin injury.
Djed Spence has been missing for several weeks, and adolescent Mikey Moore missed his vacation to Turkey due to an illness.
Tottenham are walking wounded, particularly in defensive positions, and Postecoglou will be expecting to have better news to share with the assembled media before of the game against Ipswich.
