Tottenham<\/a> are still dealing with a string of injuries and will be without six players when they host Manchester City<\/a> on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Spurs are coming off a hat-trick of Premier League<\/a> victories over Brentford<\/a>, Manchester United and Ipswich Town, halting a worrying slide down the table.<\/p>\n

Ange Postecoglou’s team will not be happy with 12th in the top flight, where they currently sit, but they are looking upwards again after the trio of wins.<\/p>\n

Their injury headaches are easing but are not quite cured and Postecoglou will still be missing six players who were not available at Ipswich.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, the Australian said: ‘Will be the same squad as the weekend. Everyone who played is good. <\/p>\n

‘With the injured guys, all still progressing and over the next 7-10 days we’ll be getting them back.’<\/p>\n

Those ‘injured guys’ who are close to a return are Dominic Solanke, Richarlison, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, with all four hoping to play against Bournemouth in the Premier League on 9 March.<\/p>\n

Radu Dragusin is also out for an extended period of time due to an ACL injury, while Ben Davies will not play on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Welsh defender is not in serious trouble, but Postecoglou wants to make sure he is fully fit for the run-in.<\/p>\n

He explained: ‘He\u2019s been carrying a knock for a little while and to be fair he\u2019s played through it, but I\u2019ve said before this is a key period and I want as many players in the best possible condition and after this game we have a seven-day break which leads into Europe, league, Europe League and those games are massive for us. <\/p>\n

‘I don\u2019t see need to push. He hasn\u2019t re-injured. He\u2019s just been carrying something that I don\u2019t want to push at the moment.’<\/p>\n

Timo Werner is an option for the Australian, saying of the German forward: ‘He has trained & is available for tomorrow.’<\/p>\n

Postecoglou’s opposite number on Wednesday, Pep Guardiola, also addressed his big injury concern, although could not confirm whether Erling Haaland would be back in the Manchester City side or not.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian has missed the recent defeats to Real Madrid and Liverpool with a minor knee problem, but has been training.<\/p>\n

‘Tonight we will know after training,’ Guardiola said of Haaland. ‘I hope (he will be fit) but I don’t know yet. He feels better but the last two games he could not play. We’ll see tomorrow.’<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"Manchester\t<\/div>

Asked for his view on Tottenham and specifically their manager, Guardiola said of Postecoglou: ‘I have a high opinion about him. I try to not judge results, you have to see the ideas; sometimes it’s going well, sometimes not much but I have a high, high opinion.<\/p>\n

‘A fantastic team, individual quality that they’ve always had, the rhythm they play with, the intensity, incredible runners in transition. But I’ve seen lately they are a little bit more pause in the final third, more extra passes\u2026 Results dictate one thing, but my opinion of the team is completely the opposite.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
