Ange confirms MAJOR midfield blow for Spurs against Sheffield United.
Tottenham Hotspur will host newly promoted Sheffield United this afternoon in gameweek 5 of the 2024/24 Premier League season.
Ange Postecoglou will be full of confidence entering into this game, since he has begun his fantastic Spurs season unbeaten.
He’ll look to extend that streak today, with Spurs injury news working in his favor. Let’s see…
Spurs injury news vs Sheffield United: Giovani Lo Celso ruled out Spurs have suffered a huge setback in their midfield, with Ange Postecoglou confirming today that Giovani Lo Celso has been ruled out of playing in this match. The information comes from London World.
There was always skepticism going into this game since Lo Celso was in a race against time. However, it is already official that the Argentine will miss this encounter.
In reality, he was unlikely to start anyhow, considering his opponent, James Maddison, is in excellent form. It’s difficult to break into this Spurs team as a centre forward or central offensive midfielder, with both Son Heung-Min and Maddison putting in strong performances.
The midfield will most likely consist of James Maddison, as previously stated, Yves Bissouma, who has also been in good form, and Pape Sarr, who will most likely cover the defensive line as his midfield duty.
So the Spurs have started the season nicely, as they frequently do. What matters most for new manager Ange Postecoglou is that he maintains the momentum into the new year, and games like this are crucial for winning and not slipping up. After all, every point counts, and he will be hoping that Lo Celso recovers quickly from his injury.
