Postecoglou sources have been severely impoverished in recent weeks and months, with only 13 first team players suitable for vital 3-2 wins to hoffenheim IN Europa League On Thursday night, and the immediate picture does not look bright for £ 55m by signing Solanke.
“All the information is now the kind we're looking at about the six -week sign for him,” Postecoglou told his striker after the match. “No operation, but maybe we can turn it a little earlier, we'll just see how it progresses, but at this stage it's only about six weeks.”
Elaborating further, before the weekend clash with Leicester City in Premier LeagueGreek-Australia said whether or not the blow had influenced the transfer plans: “All those things are popular, nothing has changed in the last 24 hours.
“We knew it maybe a few days back and we've had a press conference in the meantime. All of these things are popular and nothing has changed the last 24 hours that changes that part of it.”
Other major shortages to Tottenham Include the duo of the Romero and Van De Ven quarterback, who have been removed for a considerable time. And as they are getting closer to a return to action, Postecoglou confirmed that it will be a little longer before they can provide a relief for a back line that has seen Archie Gray set as an emergency center.
“No. As I said, we got them back training,” replied Postecoglou. Specially asked if Romero was in quarrel to face Leicester. “He and Micky are the next booths out of the rank in terms of long -term ones. They still have little to do in dealing with some training with them with the team.
“Of course we haven't trained much and because the next day was a low session of the temple, it was just good to include it, not just for it, but players involved because they need little help and encouragement and cutting Training with them gives them a great elevator.
“Micky is not too far away. These players will turn back, knock on wood are not dead, they are simply hurt, so they will turn everyone, so not all punishment and darkness. It is good to be seen for players like he has joined in training the last two days, but he has still got a little work to do. “
