Ange Postecoglou offers relieving injury news on 3 key players after UEL victory | OneFootball

Tottenham starters Richarlison, Dominic Solanke, and James Maddison were all taken off in the second half of Spurs 3-1 win over Bodo Glimt in the Europa League, but none of these three important players have suffered serious injuries, per manager Ange Postecoglou.

After a Pedro Porro cross and an intelligent backpost header from Richarlison set up an easy goal for Brennan Johnson in the opening minutes, Tottenham cruised to a commanding 3-1 victory at home against underdogs Bodo Glimt in the first half of the Europa League semifinals.

Tottenham control their own destiny heading into the second leg on the road, and after Manchester United made mincemeat out of Athletic Club 3-0 at San Mames, it looks like Spurs could be headed for an all-Premier League Europa League Final with the Champions League very much on the line for England's two most disappointing sides.

Tottenham won't lose any key players for a Europa League Final

Thankfully for Tottenham, they won't be at any risk of losing three key contributors to their win over Bodo Glimt. Striker Dominic Solanke, midifelder James Maddison, and forward Richarlison (who started on the left wing with Son Heung-min ou) were all subbed in the second half.

Spurs fans were worried about potential to injuries to all of them, but there is nothing serious to be concerned about. Manager Ange Postecoglou said, via The Spurs Express, that Richarlison's change was a tactical one and he is not injured at all.

Meanwhile he added, also via The Spurs Express, that James Maddison felt a tweak in his knee but that it doesn't appear to be serious. Dominic Solanke had a tweak in his quadriceps muscle, but Big Ange says that this injury isn't anything to worry about either. He simply took both key starters out of the game as a precaution.

Maddison or Solanke should be questionable vs. West Ham

After the Son injury scare, Tottenham are taking the prudent approach with their stars. All three of these players have had extensive injury woes, so being especially careful with these experienced players is of particular importance with the Europa League very much on the line and Manchester United now almost certainly on the horizon in the Final.

With fellow struggling side West Ham up and the Premier League already over from a Tottenham perspective, don't be too surprised if Postecoglou keeps at least one of Solanke or Maddison out as a precaution, favoring a younger player getting some minutes in a winnable game. After Son's case, it's much better to be safe than sorry.
