‘He will be out’ – Postecoglou will soon drop first-team player

With six matches remaining in their Premier League campaign, Ange Postecoglou has a strong opportunity to guide Tottenham Hotspur back into next season’s Champions League.

Aston Villa’s recent victory over Arsenal not only dashed the Gunners’ hopes of securing the title after two decades but also maintained their three-point lead over Tottenham, despite having played one additional match.

Unai Emery’s team is also occupied with the Europa Conference League, which could work in favor of Spurs during the closing stages of the Premier League.

Prior to Tottenham’s upcoming fixture, Aston Villa will have played twice more, setting the stage for a crucial North London derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This scenario could potentially place Postecoglou’s side nine points adrift of the team directly above them, making the derby a pivotal match for both Spurs and Arsenal.

While the atmosphere promises to be electric, one player who might miss out on the action is Timo Werner, who joined on loan in January. Despite his decent contributions, including two goals and three assists in 784 minutes of Premier League play according to WhoScored, it’s uncertain if he’ll feature once Richarlison returns.

“He expressed that if Richarlison returns, Son might switch to the left, potentially leading to Werner being sidelined.

This adjustment could enhance their attacking prowess by facilitating better link-up play with certain players.”

Additionally, the manager is unlikely to keep Richarlison on the bench if goals are needed to catch up with Villa towards the end of the game.

“Werner’s performance has been decent, but not exceptional. Ultimately, the team cannot afford to carry any underperforming players in the crucial upcoming matches.

Another concern is whether potential permanent transfer plans in the summer could be affected by the team’s performance in the coming weeks.”
