Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou provides positive update on Brennan Johnson injury scare
Ange Postecoglou has provided reassurance regarding the injury scare of Brennan Johnson during Tottenham’s recent match against West Ham United, downplaying concerns and expressing confidence in the player’s condition.
Here is what the manager told TNT Sport about Johnson‘s condition via BBC:
“Yeah I think he’s alright. It was just a knock from a set-piece. I think everyone got through it pretty well considering it was two games in a short space of time.”
Johnson’s injury scare occurred late in the game against West Ham, prompting his substitution for Giovani Lo Celso. However, Postecoglou clarified that the injury was not serious, attributing it to a knock on the knee that caused some stiffness.
