Postecoglou must address player fitness before Frankfurt match
Tottenham faces important decisions as they prepare for their upcoming Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt. The team's recent loss to Fulham has left them in a tough spot for domestic success. However, winning the Europa League could still make this season special. Manager Ange Postecoglou is focused on international competition, having made several changes to his lineup against Fulham. He emphasized that some players began the match to build their fitness for the upcoming games against Frankfurt. Tottenham has only two matches left before the first leg against Eintracht Frankfurt, including a challenging away game against Chelsea and a home match against Southampton. In defense, Postecoglou must manage players like Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, ensuring they are fit for the European challenge. With injuries to Radu Dragusin and Kevin Danso, the coach may need to rotate players like Ben Davies and Archie Gray into the backline. Midfield poses its own challenges. Key players James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are expected to return soon, but it is uncertain if they can both play together in the same roles. Other midfield options include Pape Matar Sarr and Rodrigo Bentancur, but they offer less creativity. Yves Bissouma's inconsistent performances could lead Postecoglou to seek alternatives. In attack, young player Wilson Odobert has impressed with his recent performances, but Kulusevski will return from injury and could compete for a starting position. Heung-min Son and Dominic Solanke are likely to remain key players in the forward lineup. The situation remains fluid as Tottenham aims to solidify their best team for the crucial matches ahead.
