Manager Ange Postecoglou’s claim about Tottenham’s injury crisis holds weight, with Spurs suffering more than any other Premier League club.
They’ve endured 213 player absences across 39 matches, 25% higher than any top-flight side in European competition.

North London rivals Arsenal are next worst-hit, with 44 fewer absentees than Spurs.
Postecoglou’s frustrations grew after Sunday’s 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa, where he was missing 11 first-team players.
This marked the fifth occasion this season that Spurs have faced double-digit injury or illness absences, per the Sun.
The stats highlight how injuries have severely impacted Tottenham’s form, adding pressure to Postecoglou’s tenure.
