Tottenham suffer ANOTHER hamstring injury - as Ange Postecoglou rules forward out of action for up to four weeks to add to Spurs' woes

Timo Werner is the latest Tottenham player to be ruled out by a hamstring injury. Ange Postecoglou has ruled the Germany forward, on loan from Leipzig, out for up to four weeks after scans revealed the damage. Werner's form has been poor, but his absence deprives the Spurs boss of options and flexibility from the bench, just when he thought his injury crisis was starting to ease.
Richarlison and Mikey Moore have returned to the first team in the last week and defender Ben Davies is expected to be back for the game at Everton on Sunday. But Werner is now sidelined and Brennan Johnson doubtful for the trip to Merseyside after picking up a slight calf problem in the 2-1 defeat at Arsenal on Wednesday.
'He's had a scan and he's got a hamstring tweak, so probably three to four weeks,' said Postecoglou on Werner. Tottenham have suffered another hamstring injury, with the forward ruled out for four weeks. Timo Werner is the man who will be out of action in yet another blow to Ange Postecoglou.
Postecoglou has acknowledged that his players have put in 'a big shift' during a tough period. 'Whilst we've had a lot of injuries, we've also asked a lot of players during this period, and we've had to try and find ways to manage how much they play so we don't lose anyone else.
'We've sort of half got away with it I hope but even for guys like Brennan, he picked up a tweak off the back of even him trying to manage his load over the last two months. It has been a big shift for the players in there.'. Hamstring injuries have proved a particular problem for Tottenham this season.
