Ange Postecoglou confirms two new Tottenham absences as he gives Romero and Richarlison update

Ange Postecoglou has revealed that Timo Werner and Mikey Moore will miss Tottenham's Europa League tie against Galatasaray on Thursday evening. Spurs have suffered some injuries in recent weeks, with Cristian Romero and Richarlison limping off in the second half of last Sunday's 4-1 win over Aston Villa.

Micky van de Ven will not return from his strained hamstring until after this month's international break and Wilson Odobert faces more time on the sidelines after a setback so soon after returning from a hamstring injury. Speaking to the media in Istanbul on Wednesday evening ahead of Spurs' European clash, Postecoglou provided an update on his injured players

"Yeah, so from the weekend obviously Richy unfortunately injured his hamstring so I'm still getting the final information but I think he'll be out for a while," said the 59-year-old when speaking to football.london. "Romero, I think nothing too serious hopefully. So, hopefully still a chance for the weekend.

"Timo Werner has been carrying a bit of a groin complaint, which is still there, so he didn't travel, and Mikey Moore picked up a bit of a virus yesterday, so we've left him at home as well. I think everyone else who's fit and eligible is here."
