Mikey Moore has not featured for Tottenham since the Carabao Cup win over Man City
Tottenham Hotspur are going through a real rough patch at the moment. Ange Postecoglou’s side sit 11th in the table, and they’ve failed to win any of their last three Premier League games since thrashing Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
The Greek-Aussie tactician has come under intense pressure from certain sections of the fanbase and the media, but he is still being backed by the board. While results have been far from desired, one cannot deny the fact that Ange Postecoglou has been dealing with lots of injury problems.
The likes of Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore are all out, while Rodrigo Bentancur continues to serve a seven-game domestic ban. In addition, Yves Bissouma picked up his fifth yellow card during the 4-3 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday and will miss the game against Southampton.
-> Illness ridden Tottenham sensation set for weeks on the sidelines
The absence of homegrown talent Mikey Moore for this long is suspicious, to say the least. The teenage prodigy was enjoying game time this season thanks to Richarlison and Odobert’s injuries, but unluckily, he’s been sidelined with a bad virus for over a month now.
The Southwark-born talent’s last outing in a Tottenham shirt came in the 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup. And it sounds like Moore’s absence is set to continue in another blow for Big Ange’s side.
According to the Standard reporter Dan Kilpatrick, Moore is going to be out until the New Year due to the virus. He claims that the teenager’s current illness is ‘energy-sapping’ and that he will miss the rest of the year’s action.
“You consider at the moment that Vicario is out with a contact injury. Romero was out with a contact injury. Bentancur is suspended, that’s an anomaly if you like, Mikey Moore is recovering from an energy-sapping virus, so he will be out until the new year,” Dan Kilpatrick said on The Tottenham Way Podcast.
Young Moore clearly needs good rest for the next few weeks to recover from the illness that has disrupted the rhythm with which he was performing. Him missing the rest of the year’s action is a big blow considering the talented English attacker was quickly becoming a key part of the first-team squad.
-> Tottenham urged to replace fan favourite whose sharpness is ‘lacking’
Big Ange really needed the services of Moore for this busy fixture schedule, as Tottenham are extremely thin in the forward department and it came to the fore when our gaffer didn’t have game-changing options to bring off the bench in the recent 4-3 defeat to Chelsea.
