James Maddison is a doubt for Tottenham's visit to West Ham on Sunday and Lucas Bergvall is set to miss the rest of the season. Maddison was taken off in the second half of Thursday night's 3-1 win over Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League semi-final first leg in north London whereas Bergvall was not able to play at all.
Ange Postecoglou played down the severity of Maddison's knock after the match, admitting that it was mainly out of precaution after Maddison "felt a tweak in his knee" during the second half. Both he and Dominic Solanke were substituted in the last 25 minutes.
Spurs had already worked themselves into a strong position to advance to the final in Bilbao later this month after Brennan Johnson's opener 40 seconds in. Maddison doubled the lead on 34 minutes, taking down a long ball from Pedro Porro before finishing cooly.
Solanke converted his penalty on the hour mark but Ulrik Saltnes gave the Norwegian underdogs hope of an unlikely comeback next week with his late goal to cut the deficit. Tottenham travel to Bodo in five days time but first have to face West Ham.
Speaking ahead of the game, Postecoglou gave an update on Maddison and the fitness of his squad after Richarlison was substituted at half-time as well. "Lucas obviously looks like the injury is probably significant to keep him out for the remainder of the season," he said.
"Dom's not too bad, obviously a doubt for the weekend. Madders is a bit more of a concern as it's a knee, we've sent him for a scan."
Son Heung-Min is in contention for the away trip to Bodo but will not play this weekend. "Sonny is still working hard, he's out on the grass and we'll see if he's available for Thursday," said the Tottenham coach.
Bergvall had been ruled out prior to the Bodo game with an ankle problem. He was seen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on crutches.
"It's too early to assess," Postecoglou had said after the match. "You know, it's just the way our season's gone on unfortunately, it's just hugely disappointing for Lucas, he was obviously really excited."
Bergvall trained before the game on Wednesday. "He had a big week, re-signing with the club and he's had such a great year for us. Like I said, it's just the way our season's gone, where in training something innocuous like that ends up with him hurting his ankle. We'll just assess over the next few days, let it settle down and we'll find the extent of it."
Bergvall signed a new contract at Spurs earlier this week, keeping himself at the club until 2031. He has been one of the few bright sparks in an otherwise dismal season.
Meanwhile, Radu Dragusin is still sidelined. Tottenham know that they could fall to 17th with defeat at the London Stadium on Sunday. West Ham are winless in their last seven games but could climb above Spurs. Three points for Postecoglou's side could put them up to 14th.
