Ange Postecoglou has bad news for Bergvall dreamers but good news on Tottenham forward
Ange Postecoglou has offered a fresh update on Tottenham’s injury situation ahead of their Premier League clash against Aston Villa.
Tottenham Hotspur are set to take on Aston Villa in the Premier League on Friday in what is their penultimate game of the League season.
Indeed, with a Europa League final only just six days away, Tottenham would have their eyes fixed on 21 May in Spain at the San Mames Stadium.
Ange Postecoglou would be hoping that his side are not handed any more injury blows after three of his most creative midfielders have been ruled out for the final against Manchester United.
James Maddison is out for three months after picking up an injury to his knee in Tottenham’s first-leg semi-final win against Bodo/Glimt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Dejan Kulusevski picked up a knock to his knee in Tottenham’s last Premier League game against Crystal Palace, and Kulusevski has since had to undergo surgery.
Lucas Bergvall injured his ankle ligament and is expected to be out for eight weeks, however, rumours suggest that Bergvall could be fit just in time for the final in Spain.
Ange Postecoglou provides fitness update ahead of Tottenham vs Aston Villa
Ahead of the Premier League clash against Aston Villa, Ange Postecoglou has now provided an update on the fitness of his Tottenham squad.
Speaking on Lucas Bergvall’s fitness and the likelihood of him featuring in the Europa League against Manchester United, Postecoglou told football.london: “No, it’s still the same sort of timeframe. Never long term but he’s just got out of his boot and taking his first steps on the grass but he’ll likely be a while.”
On whether Heung-min Son would feature against Aston Villa, the Spurs boss continued: “He’ll definitely play tomorrow. Whether he’ll start or not we’ll see. He reacted well to Sunday and it makes sense to get him more match minutes whether it’s starting or playing half of the game.”
