- Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has revealed that Ashley Phillips’ injury will keep him sidelined until the new year.
The Spurs haven’t been very fortunate lately, have they? Losing Micky van de Ven and James Maddison for the rest of the season was challenging enough, but Rodrigo Bentancur’s knee won’t be fully healed until February. It’s expected that the sick Phillips won’t be playing again in 2023.
Ange Postecoglou claims that Ashley Phillips of Tottenham will be sidelined till the new year. After winning their first ten Premier League games, Tottenham was regarded as one of the best teams in the country before their current downturn.
Ange Postecoglou’s team will face more difficulties tomorrow when they go to Manchester City, having lost their last three games.
Rodrigo Bentancur is out with an injury he incurred against Aston Villa, while Maddison and Van de Ven are not expected to return either.
Young Ashley Phillips, who sustained an injury during the international break, will also be out until the new year, according to Postecoglou’s statement from yesterday.
According to Football London, the Tottenham manager stated: “He’s out long term as well, sort of n uew year for him as well.”
Ashley Phillips might have made his debut for Tottenham.
Ashley Phillips was acquired by Tottenham from Blackburn Rovers in the summer for a meager £3 million (Standard).
Although Phillips is a gifted young center-half, he had an opportunity to play in the Premier League after Cristian Romero received a suspension and Van van Ven sustained an injury.
Postecoglou was going to give Phillips his Tottenham debut, according to a recent 90min story, but his injury during the international break prevented him from doing so.
It will be interesting to see if the young star could get a chance at the he comes back this coming month.
