“Brennan simply did not really feel effectively,” mentioned Postecoglou on Johnson’s substitution against Chelsea.
“He did not really feel effectively at half-time, however he needed to provide it a go. He simply wasn’t feeling 100 per cent, so I needed to take him off.”
Left-back Ben Davies missed Tottenham’s defeat to Chelsea with a thigh damage, whereas striker Richarlison, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and summer season signing Wilson Odobert are all sidelined with long-term injuries and will not be again till the brand new yr.
Postecoglou was gifted a reprieve when star centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven returned to the beginning line-up on Sunday, however the former was changed after simply quarter-hour.

In consequence, the previous Atalanta star will not return to the sphere till 2025, and he’s set to overlook essential video games towards Liverpool and within the Europa League.
