In what comes as a further blow to Tottenham Hotspur, John Wenham, who breaks news about the club’s youth teams in the Lilywhites Rose social media platforms, has revealed that youngsters, George Abbott and Mikey Moore, are now also out with long-term injuries.
Players seem to be dropping like flies at Hotspur Way, with Spurs receiving news on Tuesday (Football.London) that Rodrigo Bentancur is now expected to be out of action until February with an ankle injury.
The midfielder joins Pape Matar Sarr, Richarlison, James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic on the treatment table while Cristian Romero has to serve one more game left to serve in his suspension.
Tottenham’s injury problems are not consigned to first-team stars, with Ange Postecoglou confirming last week that 18-year-old Ashley Phillips is also expected to be out for a while after picking up an injury while on England Under-19s duty (Spurs Play).

Tottenham academy is feeling the injury crisis too
It has now emerged that 18-year-old academy midfielder George Abbott, who made his first-team debut last season, is also facing six months on the sidelines after picking up an injury.
#thfc Understand George Abbott will be out for up to six weeks with an injury.
Massive blow for the hugely talented England youth international who made his first team debut away to Leeds last season.
Wishing you the best George

Meanwhile, hugely talented 16-year-old attacker, Mikey Moore, who has eight goals and five assists for the Under-18s this season, is also expected to be on the treatment table for a similar time after picking up a calf injury.
#thfc Understand Mikey Moore has picked up a calf injury whilst on international duty which could see him out for up to six weeks.
Massive blow for the Academy with their FA Youth Cup 3rd round tie to be played on 5 December.
Best of luck with the recovery @mikeymoore_10

Spurs Web Opinion
While Tottenham’s unprecedented injury crisis may be simply a case of bad luck and coincidence, some might start to wonder if there is some other factor at play.
Perhaps some will ask questions about the intensity of training at Hotspur Way and whether that has been a factor in these injuries.
Have something to tell us about this article?
