Ange Postecoglou has said a muscular injury sustained by Tottenham Hotspur’s Wilson Odobert in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup victory at Coventry City could be “fairly significant”.
19-year-old Odobert, a summer signing from Burnley, was substituted off in the 18th minute of the match away to the Championship team after appearing to pick up a muscular injury.
Odobert has been involved in each of Tottenham’s last three Premier League matches and was handed his third start of the season at Coventry, where late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson saw Postecoglou’s side survive a potential cup upset and book a place in the fourth round.
“Hard to say,” Postecoglou said after the match when asked about Odobert’s injury. “Wilson looks fairly significant so we’ll just wait and see.”
Spurs had another late injury scare when Timo Werner was substituted off in the 74th minute, replaced by Dejan Kulusevski, after the Germany international went to ground in apparent discomfort.
“Timo, again not really sure if it was just fatigue,” Postecoglou said. “A bit unfortunate both of those, they play in a similar position. We hope it’s nothing too significant.”
Tottenham return to action on Saturday with a home match against Brentford in the Premier League.
