'No doubt we've got a leak inside the club — but it's not one of our players!': Tottenham head coach

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has addressed concerns over internal leaks about team injuries and selections, insisting the source is not a player. His comments came after social media speculation accurately predicted Wilson Odobert’s hamstring issue ahead of their Europa League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt. Although Odobert was on the bench, Postecoglou publicly expressed frustration over the repeated leaks from within the club.

The Greek-Australian head coach, speaking at a press conference ahead of Sunday’s game against Wolverhampton, said someone has been leaking information throughout the season and that the club has narrowed down the possible sources. He also explained how such incidents negatively impact the team.

“There is no doubt we've got a leak inside the club. Someone continues to leak out information, and they have all year. I don’t know why, as it just makes our job even more difficult. It doesn't help us — you don't want to give the opposition a helping hand. We've narrowed it down. I've got a fair idea where it's coming from. We will deal with it,” he said.

“It certainly doesn't help us on game days. It's sometimes half-truths and sometimes more. You’d like to think that everyone within our camp is working with us rather than against us,” Postecoglou added.

With Spurs having drawn 1–1 at home against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals, Postecoglou also stated he would be making changes to the first team for Sunday’s league game. If Spurs are eliminated from the tournament, the North London club will have nothing left to fight for this season, as they sit 13th in the league and have already been knocked out of domestic cup competitions.

“Not [any new injured players] from the last match. A couple of boys cramping up near the end, a couple of small knocks, a few who will be tired, but health-wise, we're fine. It was a big physical toll last match. It was always going to be a challenging game for us. It's a big game [on Sunday], and a big performance is needed, so having some fresh legs will help with that. Fair to make some changes,” he added. (IANS)
