Title dreams shattered for Spurs, as new long-term injuries are revealed

Until last Monday, everything looked idyllic at Tottenham and his fans were daydreaming. Ange Postecoglou’s team played beautiful football, were first in the table and began to dream of the title. But since Monday and the game with Chelsea, everything has gone south. In the controversial city derby, the Blues outclassed the Spurs with two more players. And crippled them for the next matches. Tottenham are visiting Wolves tomorrow, and due to red cards, they will not be able to count on standard defenders Christian Romero and Destini Udogi. However, these are even less of a problem. They are more worried about the injuries that caused the players to be replaced in the first half of the crazy clash with Chelsea.

Another regular defender Micky van de Ven limped off the field due to a hamstring injury and according to the first reports, he will not be on the field until January. In best case! It is a huge handicap for Spurs because the Dutchman, since his transfer from Wolfsburg for 40,000,000 euros this year, played every minute until the derby with Chelsea and was a pillar of defense alongside Romero. Now both will be absent for tomorrow's visit to Wolves. Postecoglu only has Eric Dyer and young Ashley Phillips (18) available as a stopper, who has not even made his debut for the first team.

This is how you become a hero! Ange and Poch gave us a memorable night and a game which won't be forgotten

This is not the end of the suffering either. In the first half against Chelsea, probably the best player of Spurs this season, James Maddison, was injured. Although it didn't seem alarming at the time, new reports are suggesting things are worse than expected. British media write that Maddison's ankle injury is more serious than thought and that he will be out for several weeks. He has already dropped from the national team list and it is certain that he will miss the next few Premier League matches. There is no official information about the extent of the injury, but the media on the Island write that he could also be unavailable until January. This summer, Maddison came as a capital increase from Leicester for 46,300,000 euros and immediately established himself as one of the leaders of the game. In 11 Premier League duels, he recorded three goals and five assists and quickly established himself as one of the leaders of the team. The Brazilian forward Richarlison is also out of action, having undergone surgery on his bone, and he is also expected to be out for a few weeks. Tottenham expect matches against Wolves, Aston Villa, Manchester City, West Ham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Everton, Brighton and Bournemouth by the end of the year.
