Ange Postecoglou gives Ben Davies injury update after Tottenham’s defeat to Bournemouth | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have been hit with injuries this season, and they suffered yet another blow at Bournemouth in the Premier League on Thursday evening.

Ange Postecoglou’s side went down 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium. Dean Huijsen scored the only goal of the game in the 17th minute.

Tottenham also suffered an injury blow as Ben Davies went off in the 62nd minute. The Wales international was deployed at centre-back in a 4-3-3 formation.

Davies suffers injury blow for Tottenham

Postecoglou has said that the 31-year-old will be on the sidelines for a long time because of the hamstring injury he suffered against Bournemouth.

“It looked like he’s done his hamstring,”  Postecoglou said (via football.fondon).

“He and Radu (Dragusin) have had to play every game, and it’s a consequence of having the squad we do. It looks like he’ll be out for a while now.”

Tottenham hit with injuries

While you cannot blame Tottenham’s struggles this season on injuries, it must be noted they have several key players on the sidelines at the moment.

Guglielmo Vicario will be out for months after ankle surgery, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Micky van de Ven have hamstring injuries, while Cristian Romero is on the sidelines with a toe issue.

However, Spurs need to do better. They are in 10th place in the Premier League table and have conceded 15 goals in 14  league games.

They are only six points behind fourth-placed Manchester City. A top-four place is very much possible for the club, but results and performances need to improve.
