- Tottenham's injury crisis continues to hamper Ange Postecoglou's efforts
- The club has been plagued by a growing list of injuries in recent seasons.
- LISTEN NOW: It's all starting! Ruben Amorim seems desperate… it is the last resort to publicly denounce your players
Pressure continues to mount on Ange Postecoglou as Spurs drop to 15th in the Premier League table following Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Goodison Park.
The Tottenham manager watched as his much-changed team were torn apart in the first half by David Moyes' Everton and ultimately failed to secure a comeback result.
It was another roll of the dice by Postecoglou with his team as he again made two changes for the trip to Merseyside amid a growing list of injury complaints that have deprived the Spurs boss of key players.
Since Postecoglou arrived to replace Antonio Conte, injuries have been a constant part of the Australian's title-winning efforts at the arid club.
His innovative all-out attacking style was praised during the early months of his tenure, but questions are now being raised over his refusal to change approach amid a spate of injuries and Spurs approaching the relegation zone.
But injuries are nothing new for Tottenham, as Mail Sport delves into the statistics behind the club's packed medical room.

Injuries continue to pile up for Spurs this season with 11 key first-team stars currently injured
Guglielmo Vicario is among Spurs' injury complaints after suffering a serious injury that required surgery
Prior to his arrival after Postecoglou decided to cut ties with Celtic, it was another season of muscle aches, strains, aches and bruises for Spurs as they looked to compete for European football.
The result of Conte's demanding and high-energy football along with the return of key stars saw Spurs finish the 2022/23 season with more injuries than any other team except Chelsea, Man United and Nottingham Forest.
The Spurs finished the campaign with 35 players unavailable at any point during the season, as injured stars missed a total of 132 games and 1,085 days of competitive action.
Tottenham's first team also averaged 7.8 injuries every 1,000 minutes and finished eighth in the Premier League standings.
Postecoglou's arrival improved results and performance, but injuries were still rife, with his team suffering 37 injuries throughout the season and many of those unavailable being key players.
Tottenham's injury toll has been getting progressively worse during Postecoglou's reign
Spurs also topped the list of individual players who suffered injuries that season with 22 different stars unavailable at one point or another during the year.
The consistent trend of progressively injury-prone years continues this season with Spurs leading the way with 11 players currently unavailable for selection as they recover from their complaints.
To make matters worse for Postecoglou and his coaching team, eight of those stars would probably fit directly into Tottenham's strongest XI.
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Yves Bissouma are among the cohort.
