Tottenham forced to undergo emergency review on Postecoglou's orders as season threatens to unravel

Tottenham will reportedly carry out a second review of their medical department as a result of the club's ongoing injury problems.

The review will be the club's second in less than a year as they try to prevent their season from unraveling due to a series of injuries, according to the evening standard.

chief of the spurs Ange Postecoglou has described the club's injury crisis as the worst of his career ahead of Thursday's decisive Europa League clash against ranger.

Postecoglou will be without six players for the trip to Ibrox, including defenders Christian RomeroMicky van de Ven and Ben Davies.

The club carried out a review of its medical department over the summer following concerns from Postecoglou during his first season in north London.

The Australian was plagued by injuries last season which saw Spurs miss out on Champions League qualification.

Nick Davies was hired as director of sports science, replacing the outgoing Geoff Scott, while Adam Brett arrived from Brighton as director of performance services.

But it seems to be the same story for Postecoglou's team, which once again regrets the absences of Romero and Ven de Ven, who suffered new injuries in Sunday's 4-3 defeat against Chelsea.

Romero lasted just 14 minutes against Chelsea after withdrawing with a thigh injury, while Van de Ven suffered another hamstring problem.

The same can be said for Wilson Odobert, who continues his recovery after undergoing hamstring surgery in November.

Meanwhile, Richarlison remains on the sidelines for an undisclosed issue.

“I never think it's just bad luck,” Postecoglou said before Thursday's trip to Glasgow.

“Some of it is. I have never lost a goalie before during this period of time. But some of that is recurring, particularly this year in terms of guys coming back and getting hurt again. It is something we are analyzing.

“We are always trying to explore if we can do things better. Last year was different than this year.

“Last year affected us in all areas. This year there are more returning kids who are affected. Knock on wood, we have a core group that is playing a lot and getting through it well. But it is something we are trying to address.”

Postecoglou previously admitted that his team's high-intensity training and playing style could play a role in the club's injury problems, but he hoped the problems would subside as players adapted to his methods.

“A lot of the injuries are just because of the way we train and play,” he said last season. “It's the players, the sports science staff and the medical team who understand that and make adjustments.

“In my experience, I see that players' bodies adapt and become more resistant. There is also a science that helps us in that sense.”
