Tottenham received some bad news this week when they announced that Ivan Perisic was injured and Ange Postecoglou spoke up about this player at a recent press conference.
Tottenham could be without Ivan Perisic for the entire season as he suffered an ACL injury in training and they are serious injuries.
With the player also 34 years-old, it will no doubt take a lot of work to get him back into the team and into training when fully fit.
Tottenham have a huge game this weekend coming up against rivals Arsenal and Postecoglou spoke about Perisic’s injury in his press conference.
Ange Postecoglou on Ivan Perisic’s injury
Perisic has not started a single match in the Premier League this season but has participated in all five matches from the bench.
Speaking about the player and his injury, Postecoglou said:
“Yeah, it’s disappointing, first for Ivan more than anything else. Just one of those harmless things that can happen during exercise. I’ve only been working with him for a while but you can see why he’s been at the top for so many years.
“It’s been really disappointing for us as well as because he’s been great for us and we don’t have a lot of experience in the group and he’s a real level head. He’s very strong-willed and I have no doubt that he’ll be back for club and country and stronger than ever.”
This is very high praise from the manager about Perisic and no doubt he will be a very big miss for Spurs whilst injured.
When he has come off the bench, Perisic has made a strong impact and he has been a very big influence on games.
Hopefully he can recover well and get back onto the pitch before the current Premier League season comes to a close.
