Ashley Phillips suffered an injury while playing for England’s Under-19s on Tuesday, according to John Wenham, who routinely breaks news on Tottenham’s youth players on his social media account, Lilywhite Rose.
Ange Postecoglou is presently coping with a slew of injuries, with Richarlison, James Maddison, and Micky Van de Ven joining Manor Solomon, Ivan Perisic, and Ryan Sessegnon on the sidelines.
Desity Udogie is also doubtful for the encounter versus Villa due to a hamstring injury (The Athletic), while Cristian Romero is suspended for two more games.
That means Postecoglou is down to the bare bones in defence and was obliged to start Ben Davies and Eric Dier at centre-back against Wolves.
Tottenham‘s lack of pace at the back left them vulnerable at times at the Molineux Stadium, raising the chance that the Australian will play an academy player against Aston Villa.
Ashley Phillips sustains an injury while representing England.
If Postecoglou was intending on starting Phillips on Sunday, he may have to reconsider, according to Lilywhite Rose, who reports that the 18-year-old suffered an injury in England Under-19s’ match against Mexico.
Our Opinion
Phillips was probably withdrawn as a precaution, and the injury isn’t too significant. Despite the fact that the teenager is unlikely to start against Villa, Postecoglou needs him as a bench option considering the injuries and suspensions he is currently dealing with.
