Ange Postecoglou provides reassuring Tottenham injury news
Tottenham Hotspur fans can breathe a sigh of relief as their midfielder is expected to be ready for the friendly match against Bayern Munich this Saturday.
Manager Ange Postecoglou shared this good news after Tottenham’s thrilling 4-3 win over Team K League during their Asia Tour on Wednesday.
The game was a thrilling back-and-forth affair, showcasing Tottenham’s attacking prowess. Despite the impressive offensive display, there were some defensive lapses, particularly in the second half, which may have concerned the Spurs faithful.
The match, however, took a worrying turn late in the game when Oliver Skipp was struck on the knee with just five minutes remaining. The 23-year-old appeared to be in some discomfort initially but continued to play until the final whistle after receiving treatment.
Although he seemed to move with some hesitation, it was clear that Skipp managed to finish the game without any significant issues.
Postecoglou, speaking to the club’s official website, eased concerns about Skipp’s condition. “I think he will be fine,” he said. “It was just a knock. The important thing is that everyone got through the game okay, so it’s more minutes for the lads.”
