Ange Postecoglou

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for a tough challenge as they face Manchester City in the Premier League, but this time they’ll do so without several key players. While the Spurs managed a notable victory over City in the Carabao Cup on October 30, replicating that success in Saturday’s league encounter will be significantly more challenging.

Key Players Missing

Manager Ange Postecoglou is facing a selection headache, with four notable absentees from his squad:

  • Rodrigo Bentancur begins serving a seven-match suspension, following disciplinary action taken earlier this month.
  • Cristian Romero, a defensive stalwart for Spurs, sustained a minor injury during Argentina’s World Cup qualifying match against Paraguay. Although his injury is not deemed serious, the centre-back will not be fit in time for Saturday’s showdown.
  • Promising young forward Wilson Odobert is also unavailable due to an injury setback, leaving Spurs with fewer attacking options.
  • Micky van de Ven, who has been a standout in Tottenham’s defence this season, remains sidelined as he continues his recovery from a previous injury.
  • Uphill Battle for Spurs

    Facing the reigning Premier League champions without these key players is a daunting prospect. Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, will be eager to capitalize on Tottenham’s depleted ranks as they aim to strengthen their position at the top of the table.

    Kickoff at the Etihad Stadium is set for Saturday evening, and all eyes will be on how Postecoglou adapts his strategy to cope with these significant losses.
