Tottenham Hotspur’s injury problems have refused to ease in time for their huge Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United.
Ange Postecoglou has previously discussed on their ability to claim silverware in year two, and while Spurs harbor hopes of a deep Europa League run, this competition is arguably their best chance to break their 16-year duck.
A once-unified fan base is starting to question the manager’s long-term competence, but Spurs’ underlying metrics combine with just how good they are. can It suggests that Ange is a man worth sticking around for. However, more factions of Spurs supporters could start to turn if Thursday’s hosts are defeated in the N17. This is a great game.
Unfortunately, Spurs’ injury list remains extensive for United’s visit.

Micky van de Ven i Cristian Romero he returned earlier than expected for Tottenham Premier League clash with Chelsea two Sundays ago, but neither player finished the competition.
While Romero suffered a different injury (groin) to the foot problem he had recovered from, Van de Ven re-aggravated his hamstring problem. The two centre-backs have since been sidelined, with the manager confirming the pair will not play until 2025. They will miss at least Spurs’ next three games.
Ben DaviesThe hamstring problem leaves Radu Dragusin as the club’s only available senior centre-half.
There is also a new concern of the weekend 5-0 win at Southampton. Destiny Udogie he limped off in the first half on the south coast and, although his withdrawal has since been confirmed as a precaution, the Italy international is a doubt for Thursday’s Cup tie.
“Destiny, without injury, but he is still a little sore from the game. He is not ruled out but we will see how he is with the turn,” said Postecoglou.
porter Guillem Vicari is a long-term absentee after breaking his foot last month.
Yves Bissouma is available again after serving a suspension at the weekend, but Spurs are still out Rodrigo Bentancur after his seven game ban it was approved by the FA.
