London, Jan 29 (NationPress) In light of the intense scrutiny facing Tottenham Hotspur's head coach Ange Postecoglou, winger Dejan Kulusevski has voiced support for his manager, asserting he ‘is the right man’ to steer the club. The last time Spurs triumphed in the league was on December 16 against Southampton, and since then, the North London team has secured only one point from a 2-2 draw against Wolves over the course of seven league matches. This challenging stretch has left the team sitting in 15th place on the table.
“We had moments where we exhibited flawless football, the kind not many teams can replicate. We delivered stunning performances against [Manchester] United and achieved a 4-0 victory away at City. I genuinely believe he is the right man. We are eager to win for him...I’m committed to fighting for him because I believe in the game as well. I truly think he is the right choice,” Kulusevski stated in a press conference.
“Perspectives shift, but I disregard outside opinions. I know what I see and believe to be true. The opinions of others are irrelevant to me, as they always have been. The league situation is dire, and the loss on Sunday was difficult to digest. It’s crucial to maintain a clear mind and concentrate on our objectives,” Kulusevski remarked.
As Tottenham prepares for their Europa League encounter against Swedish team IF Elfsborg, Ange Postecoglou has revealed that James Maddison has sustained a calf injury and will be sidelined for two to three weeks.
The midfielder missed the recent Premier League match against Leicester City due to reported soreness following the win against Hoffenheim in the previous Europa League game. After medical assessments, it has been confirmed that Maddison has indeed suffered an injury that will keep him out for the upcoming weeks.
“Madders has a calf strain. Therefore, he is likely out for two to three weeks for us,” Ange disclosed.
The attacking midfielder will join an extensive injury list that includes Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, and Dominic Solanke.
Currently, Tottenham Hotspur occupies 16th place in the league standings with 24 points accrued from 23 matches. They have achieved seven victories, drawn three, and suffered 13 losses so far, putting them at risk of relegation from the Premier League.
