‘Raising eyebrows’: Tottenham are surprised by what’s being said about Lucas Bergvall now – journalist

Tottenham Hotspur picked up what was perhaps their most important win of the season on Thursday evening as they beat Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League semi-finals.

However, off the back of that win there was some bad news.

Indeed, Lucas Bergvall has picked up an injury and the midfielder is unlikely to play again this season.

Inevitably, fans were gutted to hear that Lucas Bergvall was out for the season, and many have discussed how big a blow this is.

However, according to Dan Kilpatrick, speaking on The Tottenham Way Podcast, those within Tottenham have been rather surprised by the reaction to Bergvall’s injury.

Indeed, people at Spurs have been a bit shocked by the reaction to Bergvall being ‘out for the season’ with the internal view being that this isn’t a huge deal because there aren’t many games left.

Tottenham surprised by Lucas Bergvall injury reaction

Kilpatrick shared what he’s heard from Tottenham about Bergvall’s injury and the discussion around this issue.

The journalist says that Spurs have been left shocked by the reaction of some to this news, playing down the idea that Bergvall’s injury is a huge problem.

“Well, it’s worth saying, I think, the club were slightly sort of raising eyebrows at the idea that Bergvall being out for the season is a huge thing because obviously in terms of the timeline, there’s only three or four weeks left of the season. It’s that thing, I think, when you’re in November and people say, X, Y, Z is out for the rest of the year, and it sounds slightly more dramatic than actually it is.

“Clearly, though, this is very dramatic for Tottenham because, let’s be honest, I think Lucas Bergvall, if they give the award out tomorrow, he’s Tottenham’s player of the season. I don’t know, he’ll certainly be up there in terms of their most impressive performers in the squad. It’s a huge blow. What Ange said in the press conference last night was that he tweaked his ankle.”

Lucas Bergvall Europa League stats this season

There has been a big reaction to Bergvall’s injury this week, and while Spurs are surprised, it’s easy to understand why.

Indeed, the Europa League is on the line, and Bergvall has been a star performer in this competition so far this season.

Bergvall has earned huge praise for his performances lately.

The stats show that Bergvall has played a key role in Spurs’ run to the semi-finals.

Luckily, Yves Bissouma did put in his best performance for a while vs Bodo/Glimt this week, so Spurs will be hoping their midfield will have enough about it to get them over the line in this competition.

In the grand scheme of things, Bergvall’s injury isn’t all that serious, but he will miss some key games in Europe that Spurs are hoping will define their season.
