Player Crisis, Tottenham Hostpur Still Must Be Able To Beat Aston Villa
Tottenham Hotspur is experiencing a tough crisis. No less than nine players had to miss Tottenham hosting Aston Villa in the Premier League England match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Sunday, November 26 evening WIB. However, Tottenham targeted to win that match.
Tottenham are starting to wobble. After perching at the top of the standings and competing closely with Arsenal and Manchester City, they slowly began to fall behind points.
The consecutive defeats to Chelsea (4-1) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (2-1) made Tottenham lose the chance to keep points apart.
Man City, who is at the top of the standings with 28 points, is still within the reach of Tottenham who are in fourth place. The reason is, The Lilywhites are only two points adrift.
However, Man City shows consistency even though he is currently being threatened with punishment for financial fair play violations.
In addition, the two teams above him, Arsenal and Liverpool, are no less solid and always gain points.
On the other hand, Son Heung-min et al even received threats from Villa which were only one point adrift. The Villans position is also a strip under Tottenham.
This is what makes Tottenham have to be wary. The target of winning was also targeted by Ange Postecoglou's manager when he hosted Villa.
It's just that Postecoglou is faced with the problem of injured players. There are nine players who are definitely absent from the match.
How could I not, there were Richarlison, Ryan Sessegnon, Steel Solomon,tenish Whiteman and Ivan Perisic who could not perform due to injury.
Meanwhile, Cristian Romero and Yves Bissouma were suspended. They are definitely not included in the squad
Postecoglou also couldn't hope for Micky van de Ven and James Maddison who were seriously injured and had to rest for a long time. They can only return to the field in January next year.

"Micky seems to be suffering from a fairly serious hamstring injury. At least he needs two months of rest. So we can only hope he returns in the new year," said Postecoglou.
"Madison seems to have an ankle problem. After the scan, the results were not encouraging. He was absent for some time. He may have only recovered after the new year," he said.
Lucky left-back Destiny Udogie is declared fit and can appear in Saturday's match. At first he was doubtful about appearing after being sent home from the Italian national team training camp.
Having failed to strengthen Gi Azzurri, Udogie immediately returned to the club for further examination and training. After being declared fit, he was able to appear against Villa.
