Tottenham fans are expressing their concerns and opinions on who should replace the absent players following their 4-1 defeat to Chelsea, which ended their unbeaten start to the season. The loss was compounded by a red card for Cristian Romero and a hamstring injury to Micky van de Ven, leaving manager Ange Postecoglou with selection headaches.
Romero’s straight red card and three-game ban, as well as Destiny Udogie’s double booking leading to his dismissal, have left Tottenham fans frustrated. They also received news that van de Ven’s hamstring injury is “significant,” with the duration of his absence yet to be confirmed.
James Maddison also picked up a knock, casting doubt on his availability for the upcoming fixture against Wolves. This series of setbacks has forced Spurs fans to consider potential replacements.
Some fans believe that only Eric Dier and Ben Davies are available to fill the void left by the absent players, leaving the squad noticeably weaker. Others are more optimistic, suggesting that Dier could replace van de Ven, and Giovanni Lo Celso could step in if Maddison is unavailable.
One fan predicted that van de Ven could be out for four months, making Davies a long-term starting option, while Emerson could replace Udogie. Despite the challenges, many fans expressed faith in Postecoglou’s management.
However, not all fans trust Dier to fit into the system, with some suggesting that Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should remain in the lineup after replacing van de Ven during the Chelsea match.
The injury setbacks have undoubtedly created a challenging situation for Tottenham, and fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on the extent of the injuries and Postecoglou’s selection decisions for the upcoming fixtures.
