London, April 11 (NationPress) After the Tottenham Hotspur team news circulated on social media a few hours prior to kick-off for the match against Frankfurt on Thursday, head coach Ange Postecoglou stated, 'there is no doubt there is a leak at the club.'
The Australian coach, during the press conference ahead of the match against Wolverhampton on Sunday, mentioned that someone has been disclosing information throughout the year and has identified potential sources before explaining how such breaches negatively impact the club.
“There is no doubt we've got a leak inside the club. Someone continues to leak out information, and they have all year. I don’t know why, as it just makes our job even more difficult. It doesn't help us as you don't want to give the opposition a helping hand. We've narrowed it down. I've got a fair idea where it's coming from. We will deal with it,” he expressed.
“It certainly doesn't help us on game days. It's sometimes half-truths and sometimes more. You'd like to think that everyone within our camp is working with us rather than against us,” added Ange.
With Spurs having drawn 1-1 at home against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, Postecoglou confirmed that he will be implementing changes to the first team for the league clash on Sunday.
If Spurs get eliminated from the tournament, the north London club will find themselves with nothing to compete for this campaign as they currently sit in 13th place in the league and have been ousted from domestic cup competitions.
“Not [any new injured players] from last night. A couple of boys cramping up near the end, a couple of small knocks, a couple who will be tired, but health-wise fine.
“It was a big physical toll last night. It was always going to be a challenging game for us. It's a big game [Sunday], and a big performance is needed, so having some fresh legs will help that. Fair to make some changes,” he concluded.
