“We’re out of luck. Four serious injuries came out in a week.”
Starting goalkeeper Lloris injured his knee and wingback Sessegnon injured his leg muscles, while starting midfielder Bentancourt was unable to play the rest of the season due to knee surgery, and back-up agent Bisuma also left due to ankle surgery.
To make matters worse, Tottenham’s midfield virtually collapsed as Hoivier, the ‘keeper of the midfield’, failed to appear in the game due to accumulated warnings.
In a situation where it is difficult to expect a quality pass, Tottenham has no choice but to cling to the individual skills of the Son Heung-min and Kane combination at the forefront.
It is encouraging that their opponent AC Milan is suffering from serious defensive anxiety, conceding 12 goals in the last 5 league games. 슬롯사이트
