      Explaining the injuries in a press conference, Postecoglou said: “Pedro Porro picked up a strain at training. Probably a couple of weeks for him”.
      “Destiny Udogie picked up a knock, not too serious. Game next weekend, should be back”.

      “Fraser Forster – fracture in his foot, probably a couple of months”.
      The loss of Forster, whose injury is the most serious, poses less of a threat seeing as the goalie has only made one appearance all season in the Carabao Cup.
      Emerson Royal is likely to replace Porro at right-back, while Ben Davies could line up on the left .
      Spurs’ have no doubt had an unlucky season when it comes to injuries.

      Spence, currently on loan at Serie A side Genoa, was speaking to Italian outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport about his interactions with ‘The Special One’, who was recently sacked by Roma.
      He said the gaffer had a surprise for him after Spurs beat Middlesbrough 2-1 in a third round replay, saying: “Mourinho came in [To the dressing room]. He came to me and asked for my shirt to take to his son, who was a fan of mine.
      “I was quite surprised, I’ll admit. I gave him my shirt. We’re talking about one of the greatest coaches in the world.”
      Spence was 20-years-old at the time and seen as one of English football’s most exciting full-back prospects.

      After a successful loan at Nottingham Forest the following year, he was signed by Tottenham to play as a right wing back under Antonio Conte.
      But things turned sour for Spence virtually the day he signed for Spurs, with Conte dismissing the transfer as a “club signing” rather than one he had hand picked.
      He featured irregularly for Spurs under Conte before being loaned to Rennes in January 2023.
      Speaking on his difficult time at Tottenham, where he has made just six appearance, Spence said: “This is football, I can’t explain the reasons. What is certain is that when you don’t play, it’s difficult to demonstrate your value. There is no point in asking too many questions.

      Despite starting regularly for Leeds after returning from injury in December, his loan there was cut short in January after Daniel Farke became unimpressed with the player’s attitude.
      The player spoke of how he hopes his loan to Genoa will revitalise career and might even lead to an England call-up, saying: “I knew Genoa had already been looking for me in the summer, now there were evidently the right conditions to close the deal. I’m satisfied, it’s an important opportunity.
      “I hope that this can be the beginning of a long journey at a club that are growing. I found a nice company and a pleasant city. I settled in quickly, they supported me in everything.
      “Of course, it’s a dream and an ambition for anyone [To get an England call-up], I hope that Genoa will give me a hand.” More
