Asked about Odobert's fitness on Friday afternoon, Postecoglou said: "Yeah, he’s OK.

"Wilson trained today and we’ll see how he is tomorrow. He should be available for the weekend [against Wolves in the Premier League], but certainly nothing wrong with him.

"Look, there is no doubt we have got a leak inside the club. Somebody who continues to leak out information. They have all year. I don’t know why.

"It doesn’t help us. It just makes our job more difficult. We try really hard to keep things in-house like all clubs because we don’t want on game day opposition being aware of any sort of team selection, but we’ve got somebody within our camp who continually gives out information.

"We’ve narrowed it down, we’ve been looking at it for quite a while and kind of have a fair idea of where it is coming from.

"We’ll deal with it but it’s not helpful for us and half of it is misinformation, half of it is half of the information but irrespectively, it certainly doesn’t help our cause because on game day what you want to try and do is keep as much information in-house.

"We try really hard to find out information about the opposition but with us, someone has an open line to what we do. It’s disappointing because you’d like to think everyone who is in our camp is working with us, not against us.”

Spurs visit fellow Premier League strugglers Wolves on Sunday, with Postecoglou likely to make a string of changes before next Thursday's decider in Germany.

Odobert, 20, missed four months with a hamstring injury which required surgery before returning to action in February.

“With all the guys who have come back from long-term injuries, we’ve taken a different approach and we kind of know we need to always be monitoring how they’re going," Postecoglou added. "We did it with Micky [van de Ven], Destiny [Udogie], [Cristian] Romero and all these guys who came back from long-term injuries.

"There are different times when they’re going to get sore in different areas."
