On the 9th (Korea time), Tottenham made a bold decision to start Mickey Vanderben and Christian Romero, who had just returned from injury, in a home game against Chelsea in the 15th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
The result was disastrous.
Romero was injured in the 14th minute of the first half. Van Derven, who had been holding out, was also replaced by an injury in the 78th minute of the second half. In other words, the return of these main central defenders was premature. Coach Enze Postecoglou, who used to check the players' conditions by replacing them if they were not in good condition at all in the past, has been shaken by the pressure on his performance recently.

With Rodrigo Bentancourt also absent due to racism against Son Heung-min, Tottenham is virtually on alert.

Because it raises the line too much, defenders have to sprint and have a camp when the ball is taken away, which will inevitably strain the players' muscles. Bayern Munich is taking a similar tactic, but Munich's player pool and Tottenham's player pool are far from each other.
The durability of Van Derben and Romero is also not Kim Min-jae of Munich. Postecoglou's tactics are like a lobster tearing its crotch while following a stork
In addition, Tottenham is playing the EPL and the UEFA Europa League at the same time, but it insists on using a player that cannot be found in the rotation by playing key players in each game. There is also a lack of investment in the team, so the gap between the main and non-main games is severe.
Concerns about injuries to the remaining players are also growing due to the continuous departure of players.

Bentancourt is available against Rangers, but the problem is Southampton.
With midfielder Archie Gray as a defender, Klusevski, who was coordinating the game as a central midfielder, is likely to fill Johnson's winger position. The central midfielder should naturally be started by James Medison, who has recently fallen out of form. Lucas Beribal and Pape Sarr are expected to take charge of the midfield together.
