Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has now provided a worrying injury update on winger Wilson Odobert.
The 19-year-old is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and the Australian manager has revealed that the player had a setback during the week in terms of recovery and it seems like a serious problem now. It will be interesting to see when the former Burnley winger returns to action.
He said via Football London: “Son is almost fit but probably from our perspective we’ll aim for the weekend. We’re quite confident he’ll be right for the weekend. The only other one missing out which is a bit of a disappointment is Wilson, who has had a setback during the week and it seems like it is a serious one so we’re just waiting for more information. From the weekend everybody is ok and Djed is back training.”
Odobert is an exciting prospect and he could be an important first-team player for Spurs this season. So far, he has had 162 minutes of first-team action in the Premier League with the North London club.
He is highly rated across Europe and he has a bright future ahead of himself. The young winger will look to establish himself as a key player for the club and it remains to be seen whether he can bounce back from his injury blow quickly.
Spurs are already lacking in depth in the attack and players like Timo Werner have been very underwhelming. They cannot afford to lose attackers to injury. Postecoglou will certainly hope that the 19-year-old can recover quickly and help the team in the coming months.
Tottenham will look to push for trophies this season and they will look to qualify for the UEFA Champions League as well. They will need their squad fit and firing in order to succeed this season.
