On Thursday evening, a thrilling match between Tottenham and Elfsborg ended with a score of 3-0, securing Tottenham's spot in the Europa League last 16. However, amidst the excitement, there was also a cause for concern as Radu Dragusin, one of Tottenham's players, suffered a knee injury and had to be substituted.
The game was a great opportunity for Tottenham's young players to shine, and they certainly did not disappoint. Dane Scarlett, Damola Ajayi, and Mikey Moore all scored goals, with Scarlett's goal coming in the 70th minute and setting off a domino effect of goals for Tottenham.
Unfortunately, the joy of the game was overshadowed by Dragusin's injury. The young Romanian player had only been on the field for 20 minutes before he had to be replaced. Tottenham manager, Ange Postecoglou, expressed his disappointment and concern over the injury, admitting that it did not look good.
Micky van de Ven, who had been out with an injury, made his return in this game. He played for 45 minutes and came out unscathed, which was a relief for Postecoglou. However, Dragusin's injury adds to the growing list of injured players for Tottenham, including Dominic Solanke, Guglielmo Vicario, James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Cristian Romero, and Wilson Odobert. These players are all expected to miss Tottenham's upcoming Premier League trip to Brentford on Sunday.
Postecoglou did have some good news to share, though. Star players Son Heung-min and Rodrigo Bentancur, who both came off at half-time, are fine and will be available for the next game. Postecoglou explained that their substitution was planned in order to manage their playing time and keep them fresh for the busy week ahead.
Despite the unfortunate injury situation, Postecoglou was pleased with how Tottenham's young talent stepped up in this game. He praised their performance, saying that "it was made in Tottenham tonight." He also commended the academy coaches for their hard work and expressed his excitement for the potential of these young players.
In the end, Tottenham's victory was a team effort, with the young players making a significant impact on the game. Postecoglou believes that this win is a great achievement for the club and a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire academy.
