Djed Spence fires warning to Jeremy Doku

Djed Spence warned Jeremy Doku on his Instagram that tꩲhe pair will ‘meet again next time’ as the England defender was benched against Man Ciꦓty.

Spence and Doku are actually quite close💜 having played together during the former’s loan spell in𝔉 Ligue 1 with Stade Rennes in 2023.

The pair only played seven times together buꦅt it was mostly spent on the same flank in which they would have forged a strong relationship.

The 24-year-old looked to have been relishing the chance to face his former teammate, however, Postecoglou denied him that opportunity.

Doku won the Man of the Match award and in response 💫to his In🎀stagram post, Spence commented: “We’ll meet next time…”

Ange Postecoglou explains why he benched Djed Spence vs Manchester City

Postecoglou has revealed that he benched Spence because heജ has played an ‘enormous amount of time’ and felt that he needed a rest.

Tottenham also have options back available now and the manager was keen to use his squad🅘 having not had that luxury this season.

Speaking to the media after the match, Postecoglou said: “No, it wasn’t their turn, but like I said, it’s ju𒀰st, there’s no point ha♏ving a squad and I can’t be sitting here bemoaning not having a squad and then not use it [when I do].

“Deki, Sonny and Djed have, yo൲u know, played an enormous amount of time, so having them have a little bit of a recovery and a breather, I thou♓ght was going to be helpful for us.”
