Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou faces a major setback in his Champions League aspirations as news surfaces about Destiny Uodgie, leaving Alan Hutton with concerns.
With Spurs trailing Aston Villa by six points in the race for fourth place and Uodgie ruled out for the remainder of the Premier League season due to injury, Postecoglou must find a way to make up ground. Hutton acknowledges the impact of Uodgie’s absence on the team’s defensive strategy and the challenge of finding a suitable replacement.
The full-back role at Tottenham has become crucial this season, with Uodgie and Pedro Porro playing significant roles. Uodgie’s absence could be a significant blow to Spurs’ chances of finishing in the top four, as they have struggled without him before.
Postecoglou will need to decide whether to adjust his tactics to compensate for Uodgie’s loss or stick to his principles. The upcoming match against Arsenal will be a test for whoever fills in for Uodgie, facing off against a tough opponent.
Ultimately, Tottenham’s hopes of Champions League qualification may hinge on how they cope without Uodgie in the final stretch of the season.
