Tottenham Hotspur currently have some of their key men out injured.
Jan Vertonghen spoke to reporters on Tuesday, and highlighted how the long and physically demanding season is starting to show, with many Tottenham stars currently being out injured, as quoted by Football.London.
Spurs currently sit in third spot in the Premier League table, four points clear of fifth placed Arsenal, so it seems as though they will secure a top four finish for the fourth consecutive season.
They also have a Champions League semi-final against Ajax to look forward to next week, so things are certainly looking bright at Tottenham.
Whether the north London outfit have enough left in the tank, however, remains to be seen.
Vertonghen spoke to reporters, and admitted that all of the games he and his teammates have played this season are starting to show, as quoted by Football.London:
“The Premier League is so tough, both cup ties and teams you play with your country. It all adds up and it’s starting to show. It is mind over body. We struggled all season a bit with some injuries. Hopefully we can get a couple of guys back soon.”
Next up for Tottenham is a huge London derby against West Ham on Saturday, and Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping that the likes of Dele Alli and Danny Rose can recover from the minor knocks that they sustained on Tuesday night.
There is still a long way to go this season, and it will be interesting to see if Spurs have what it takes physically to finish strongly.
