And while he\u2019s got about as healthy a squad as Spurs have had in months, he\u2019s without one key player: club captain Son Heung-Min.<\/p>\n<p id=\"j0qpjE\">Postecoglou confirmed that Sonny was left back in London nursing a foot injury that he\u2019s apparently been playing through for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"sh9RVU\">\u201cSonny didn\u2019t travel and he\u2019s the only one who hasn\u2019t travelled. He\u2019s been struggling with his foot for a couple of weeks now and has been in pain. Everyone else is good. Kevin [Danso] trained and is available.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"YuoEs0\">That\u2019s good news on Hold Me Closer, Kevin Danso but bad news for Son. That said, a nagging foot injury might explain his somewhat lackluster performances the past few games. Ange had previously said that Dejan Kulusevski, who made a brief cameo near the end of Spurs\u2019 loss to Wolves at the weekend, will likely feature at some point but is unlikely to start.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Gsk49m\">So what does that mean for Spurs\u2019 lineup? Probably Wilson Odobert will slot into Sonny\u2019s position at left wing, and either Mathys Tel or Brennan Johnson on the other flank. Otherwise I expect we\u2019ll see a strong lineup, as strong as we can get, as it\u2019s a must win match that very well could determine whether Big Ange has a job by weekend\u2019s end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ange Postecoglou and his Tottenham Hotspur team have made the short hop from London to Germany ahead of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[16431,748,6702,6701,16432,393,6694,6693,5899,163,4884,256,6695,10521,257,12,3577,16430,6097,16433,16,15,6691],"class_list":{"0":"post-27071","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-ahead","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-captain","11":"tag-cartilage","12":"tag-decider","13":"tag-england","14":"tag-europa","15":"tag-frankfurt","16":"tag-free","17":"tag-front-page","18":"tag-great-britain","19":"tag-in","20":"tag-league","21":"tag-left","22":"tag-london","23":"tag-news","24":"tag-of","25":"tag-son","26":"tag-team","27":"tag-tottenham-hotspur-news","28":"tag-uk","29":"tag-united-kingdom","30":"tag-vs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114352415342605965","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
