Ange Postecoglou clarifies Lucas Bergvall injury at QPR

Speaking to the media in the immediate aftermath of the game, the Aussie boss has hinted that it doesn’t look too serious for the young Swede.

“Just a bit sore, I don’t think it was anything significant,” Ange said.

Further, Alasdair Gold also shared a picture of Bergvall with Postecoglou at full-time, with the midfielder getting a playful tap off his new manager.

Tottenham are looking ahead to the new season and are keen to build on a decent first season under Postecoglou.

Bergvall is thought to be high in their plans and he has already impressed in pre-season so far.

Quite what the injury to Bergvall is, remains to be seen.

But as is the fear with any pre-season game, there is always an edginess about whether or not a new signing will make it through unscathed.

Bergvall is one of the more exciting young players around at the moment and alongside Archie Gray, is expected to feature heavily for Tottenham next season.
