Tottenham suffer ANOTHER hamstring injury as Ange Postecoglou rules out the striker being sidelined for up to four weeks to add to Spurs' woes.

Timo Werner is the latest Tottenham player to be ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Ange Postecoglou has ruled out the German striker, on loan from Leipzig, being 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 off the bench, just when he thought his injury crisis was beginning to ease.

Richarlison and Mikey Moore returned to the first team last week and defender Ben Davies is expected to return for the game against Everton on Sunday.

But Werner is now sidelined and Brennan Johnson is doubtful for the trip to Merseyside after suffering a slight calf problem in the 2-1 defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday.

“They did a scan and he's got a pinch in his hamstring, so probably three or four weeks,” Postecoglou said of Werner.

Postecoglou has acknowledged that his players have made “a big change” during a difficult period

“While we have had a lot of injuries, we have also asked a lot of players during this period, and we have had to try to find ways to manage how much they play so as not to lose anyone else.

“I hope we got our way, but even for guys like Brennan, it was affected by the fact that even he tried to handle his load over the last two months.” “It's been a big change for the players there.”

Hamstring injuries have proven to be a particular problem for Tottenham this season.

Micky van de Ven, Wilson Odobert and Destiny Udogie are currently ruled out with hamstring injuries.

Cristian Romero, Rodrigo Bentancur and Guglielmo Vicario are also out and will miss the Everton game due to other injuries.

Postecoglou signed goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky this month and says the club has been working hard to find more reinforcements.

“It's complicated, as all the clubs are discovering,” said the Spurs boss. “I suppose it traditionally increases in the final week, so we are getting close to that point for all clubs.” It's even more complicated in January because once you try to acquire a player, the club wants to replace him. So there are all kinds of logistics involved.

'It's not frustration. It would be frustration and disappointment if the club wasn't working hard, but it is. It's an easy word to say, but I know how hard the club has been working behind the scenes to achieve something, but it's not easy.

Micky van de Ven is one of the players who has had hamstring problems this season.

'The agreement of three different parties is needed. Sometimes when you are in our situation, other clubs notice and try to take advantage of it. That's why I was delighted that Toni arrived quite early.

“That's certainly helped us, but it's not for lack of trying, so I accept that and I'm not disappointed or frustrated.” “In fact, I'm happy with how hard the club is working.”
