Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall will miss Thursday’s Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt due to an ankle injury. Despite being a regular member of the team, Bergvall sustained the injury during training at Hotspur Way on Wednesday.
Coach Ange Postecoglou expressed his disappointment with Bergvall’s absence, saying he had been outstanding this year and would be a huge miss for the team. However, Postecoglou praised Bergvall’s development and performances since joining the club in July last year, highlighting his impressive start to life in the Premier League.
Bergvall has signed a fresh deal at Tottenham that runs until 2031, and Postecoglou hailed him as one of the team’s key players. The coach acknowledged that Bergvall had overcome initial struggles to adapt to the Premier League’s intensity, but praised his hard work and ability to take opportunities.
With Bergvall missing the game, the team will rely on a midfield trio comprising Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, and James Maddison. The Europa League final would be a significant boost for Tottenham if they reach it, and the Premier League must act to ensure fair competition if Spurs are crowned champions.
As the summer approaches, Spurs are set for a busy period of change under Postecoglou’s leadership. The coach aims to improve on last season’s fifth-place finish and is expected to make key transfer signings.
