Tottenham may have beaten Bournemouth today, but it was again costly as Pape Matar Sarr was the last to get injured.
The Spurs have been plagued by injuries this season and today was no different as Sarr left the pitch in pain.
It was another heavy blow for Postecoglou and Tottenham, who had just earlier been cheered by the return of Rodrigo Bentancur to the starting eleven.
The Uruguayan returned much earlier than expected. However, it is a fact that when one returns, the other leaves, and it seems that Sarr might be missing for a while.
Postecoglou confirmed to the BBC after the game that Sarr had injured his thigh muscle.
“This is a constant for us. I’m disappointed for Pape [Matar Sarr], but I’m not sure yet about the extent of the injury. It is a thigh muscle, he is exhausted. We will have to leave the others to get stronger,” Postecoglou said.
Pape Sarr’s injury is a big blow for Tottenham
Spurs’ misfortune this season seems to continue when it comes to injuries. They are having a nightmare and it seems like every game they have a new problem.
Hamstring injuries are always a problem and it seems that Sarr, judging by his reaction, may be fearing the worst.
This season seems to be a complete write-off for many teams because of injuries. It is worse than ever and Tottenham are not the only side suffering from injuries.
But Ange will feel like he is suffering far more than other managers at the moment.
Frankly, the fact that they are still only three points off the top is quite astonishing.
Let’s hope that for Sarr and Tottenham this injury is not as serious as first feared and that he will be able to return to the game soon.
Otherwise, if it is serious, it could again affect Spurs’ January plans.
