Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that James Maddison is set for two-three weeks out with a calf injury, in the latest blow for the Tottenham manager. The England international missed the Premier League clash with Leicester City on Sunday, with Postecoglou saying he was ‘sore’ after the Europa League win over Hoffenheim in midweek.

Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged injury-hit Tottenham will be “playing with fire” if they fail to make any more signings during the final 10 days of the January transfer window. Spurs were without 14 players for Thursday’s much-needed 3-2 win over Hoffenheim in the Europa League due to a combination of injuries and eligibility.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has revealed why he substituted striker Richarlison during Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester. Spurs lost their fourth consecutive Premier League game on Sunday to pile further pressure on Postecoglou.

Spurs have taken extra care with Richarlison, though, giving him two weeks on the training ground before substitute appearances in the back-to-back league defeats to Arsenal and Everton, and the hope is that he can not only get through the next period of games but provide Spurs with some freshness up top.

Despite starting his tenure at Tottenham Hotspur, Ange Postecoglou now finds himself at the centre of growing speculation. Currently languishing at a lowly 15th in the table, the North London outfit are in genuine danger of being dragged into a battle for Premier League survival.
