Tottenham Ripped Apart By Injury Crisis As Next Game Hangs In The Balance

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur has hit a roadblock as the injury crisis threatens to disrupt the team’s momentum going into the next critical match against Southampton on December 15.

The Australian manager who is expected to propel the team into a winning trajectory has been dealt a bad hand after injuries in the squad seem to have accelerated, testing his tactics and decision-making skills.

The game is crucial for both teams, given Southampton’s mixed form recently, while Tottenham has been in poor shape. At this point, it remains quite clear that the London side faces an uphill task in trying to outmaneuver the visiting team.

With three consecutive losses in their last outings in domestic and international competitions, not only the Tottenham players but also the faithful fans could feel the tension and frustration as the games have not gone in favour of the London outfit.

With each game the stakes seem to go higher and following next Saturday’s match against Southampton will be nothing but how well they are going to defend their home, the home fortress that historically has been known to give many visiting teams cold feet.

The Saints themselves have their back to the wall in a game that is expected to be nothing short of crucial. Both teams may have different ambitions, but for coach Ange Postecoglou the only focal point will be winning and ensuring that progress is resumed immediately.

It is going to be a clash of two powerhouses and two proud footballing legacies with numerous, varying ambitions. While several first team players may be missing in action as well as influential players carrying various long term knocks that seem to weigh heavily on Spurs’ recovery.

This in itself is a stark reminder that there will perhaps need to be a focus on fostering the other members supporting the main cast of players to ensure the season remains on its originally designated course and ensure objectives for the season are kept intact.

This is easily going to perhaps be the most gripping storyline. As for the highly anticipated encounters, the fact of the matter is, when the big day finally arrives next Saturday a good number of crucial decisions shall emerge due to other long term injury layoff reasons.
