Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham's head coach, expressed concern over the club's ongoing injury crisis amidst a challenging seven-match winless streak, leaving Spurs in 15th place. Despite the return of key defender Micky van de Ven, the team remains without 12 players for recent matches, contributing to a cycle of difficulty. Postecoglou highlighted the struggle of managing injuries in a congested schedule as they prepare for crucial upcoming matches, including a Carabao Cup semi-final and an FA Cup tie, seeking to break their trophyless streak since 2008.
"Every time I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel, it's usually been an oncoming train." — Ange Postecoglou on Tottenham's injury struggles.
"We've had to deal with a real extreme situation, which unfortunately once we got hit with what we got hit with, it is then very hard to rectify on the run."
"It has been this vicious cycle. [With] the volume of games that clubs are playing, we've been in an extreme situation but a lot of clubs are facing similarities in Europe."
Postecoglou hopes to have several players back within 10 days, but some like Cristian Romero and Dominic Solanke will need longer.
