Ange Postecoglou could be without a single senior centre-back for Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League clash with Wolves on Sunday.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has said the club are "working hard" to discern what transfers might be possible in the January window as their injury crisis continues.

Postecoglou's principles are perpetually debated - but what if Spurs simply haven't signed the right players for him to be a success?

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Ben Davies has suffered had a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury, as the defensive crisis at Tottenham deepens. Davies returned to training last week and Postecoglou said he hoped the left-sided defender could return against Wolves on December 29.

LONDON - Tottenham Hotspur must reinforce the squad in January to deal with the club’s ongoing injury crisis, manager Ange Postecoglou said on Dec 27, with the North London side languishing in 11th place in the Premier League.

Ange Postecoglou has admitted that Tottenham Hotspur “need to reinforce” their squad in the January transfer window. Spurs have been hit by an injury crisis with seven players unavailable including first-choice centre-backs Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero as well as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.

A winter injury crisis for the second season running has stretched Tottenham's squad to the limit and left head coach Ange Postecoglou calling for “reinforcements” in January if Spurs are to climb from mid-table to a position more benefitting of their stature and continue to compete in the cups.

Ange Postecoglou has opened on January transfers for Tottenham, Ben Davies' injury and a rather unusual Premier League season ahead of the team's game against Nottingham Forest
