Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou had big decisions to make when arranging his line-up for the visit of West Ham this afternoon, but one player didn’t even make the matchday squad in what is a baffling choice by the Spurs boss.
Before the international break, Spurs put in a horrendous second half display against Brighton which saw them throw away a two-goal lead in disastrous style to end up on the wrong side of a 3-2 result. Postecoglou lamented his players for the manner of the defeat at the time, but a home game against their London rivals today was the perfect opportunity to put things right.
Earlier this week, Tottenham made a big off-the-field decision by offering Djed Spence a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2028. That move marked a great turnaround of fortunes for the young defender, whose Spurs career appeared to be over this time last year.
But, he’s still not been selected by Postecoglou for today’s game. There have been unconfirmed rumours of a minor injury, but even before today, he had only played 10 times for the club since joining in 2022 – making the contract decision baffling regardless. He is also not in the Europa League squad.
