Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has confirmed midfielder Lucas Bergvall has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to injury.

Bergvall was absent from the matchday squad for the 3-1 win against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday after picking up an ankle injury in the build-up to the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.

Speaking ahead of the meeting with West Ham on Sunday, Postecoglou said: “Lucas [Bergvall], looks like the injury is significant to keep him out for the rest of the season. He tweaked the ligaments in his ankle.”

When asked about how the injury occurred during training, Postecoglou added: “It wasn’t a tackle, he went to turn and his ankle gave way. They are things that happen.

“He is hugely disappointed and there isn’t much you can say. Every experience in life and football makes you stronger. He has an unbelievable career ahead of him.

“It has denied him the opportunity to play in a big game last night. He will come back stronger. Every player has to go through setbacks.”

The Spurs boss also offered updates on Dominic Solanke and James Maddison, who were forced off with knocks during the win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as well as captain Heung-Min Son who has missed the last five games.

“Dom [Solanke], we don’t think is anything too serious. He is a doubt for the weekend,” Postecoglou continued.

“[James] Madders is a bit more of a concern as it is the knee. We have sent him for a scan and are waiting for the outcome.

“Son is out on the grass and feels better every day. We will see about Thursday.”
