In the pre-match press conference ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League clash with Everton, Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed new signing Cameron Archer will miss the match due to injury. In addition, Rodrigo Bentancur is likely to be absent, but Yves Bissouma is expected to feature.
Postecoglou said Archer is definitely out with an ankle injury, “He still has a chance to be involved in the third round against Newcastle, but that would be the absolute best-case scenario, the limit of his recovery. Archer made a big contribution against Leicester City, unfortunately we couldn’t get the win.”
Despite Archer’s absence against Everton, Postecoglou revealed that Richarlison could be in line to start, “That’s why we’ve been preparing to play with two strikers, as long as he’s fit he’s one of my options.”
Regarding Bissouma, who was previously suspended for using laughing gas, Postecoglou said the midfielder is ready to play, and he will be given opportunities.
In addition to Archer, Postecoglou also revealed that Bentancur is likely to miss the game due to a head injury, “The tests so far have been good, but we need to confirm.” Pedro Porro’s situation is more optimistic. Postecoglou stated that although the team has suffered some injuries, they still have plenty of options in midfield.
Speaking about the upcoming match against Everton, Postecoglou emphasized that the team has made significant progress and will continue to work hard. He believes Spurs will give their fans a great win at home.
