Spurs fans have been discussing a post on Twitter which lists all of the injury problems which the North London club have faced so far this season.
Daily Hotspur shared the post with fans after it was originally posted by Tottenham Sweden and lists each injury and the time the player has spent on the sidelines. The North London club are currently without Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son, Steven Bergwijn and Moussa Sissoko through injury and lost club captain Hugo Lloris for 21 games earlier in the season.
Jose Mourinho’s side have really struggled of late and this injury list is perhaps one factor in their lack of success on the pitch so far this season, with the Lilywhites recently knocked out of the FA Cup and Champions League, whilst they sit eighth in the Premier League.
Can injuries be an excuse for what has been a poor season for Spurs?
Yes
No

Poch and hes team are to blame for most of these injuries with they’re extreme training regimes. They catch up to you in the end

True. Massively unfortunate season for injuries. Still think the players we had left should have done better in certain games..

These Spurs fans seem to agree that their problems with injuries so far this season have been truly awful.
What do we think?
Of course, Spurs have struggled to cope with the sheer amount of injuries to first-team players this season, so it will be interesting to see how Mourinho’s side cope next year, when they may yet not be playing European football – which can lead to fixture congestion and arguably more injuries as a result.
