Spurs’ injured trio of Fraser Forster, Ryan Sessegnon, and Manor Solomon will not be participating in games this season, according to Ange Postecoglou.
Because to persistent ailments, all three players have been out of action.A meniscus issue to his right knee has kept Manor Solomon out of action since October of last year.
Tottenham will give priority to his recovery for the upcoming season, therefore he will miss the rest of the present campaign even if it is anticipated that he would return in a few weeks.
The backup goalie, Fraser Forster, has also been sidelined since mid-February because of a foot fracture he received during practice.
Even though there were early expectations for a speedy recovery, obstacles in his healing process have caused him to take an additional five weeks to recover, thereby eliminating him from the season.
The most awful situation involves Ryan Sessegnon, a teenage winger who has struggled with hamstring ailments on a regular basis. He made a brief comeback in January before experiencing another setback during an FA Cup match. In February, he sustained a hamstring injury that necessitated surgery. Sessegnon will so miss the remainder of the season.
Ange Postecoglou confirms trio’s season is over
In an interview with SPURSPLAY, Postecoglou discussed the matter, expressing sadness at the trio’s prolonged absence while concurring that their rehabilitation efforts are still ongoing.
He expressed:
Although they are in treatment, Manor, Frase, and Sess are not likely to be participating again this year.
A lot of them want Ryan Sessegnon to be sold during the next transfer window, thus his future at the team is still up in the air.

A player who insisted on just signing with a Champions League team would never be signed by Ange Postecoglou, according to him, as their priorities would be off for Tottenham.
Even though the Spurs have the ability to qualify for the Champions League, the manager has stated throughout his first season in north London that sustainable improvement is more important to him than where his team finishes in the Premier League standings.
Postecoglou disclosed on Friday that he would end the club’s interest in a player if they refused to play without a guarantee of Champions League football. He would also use that motto in his talks with prospective recruits.
“I don’t want those players — because they don’t want to come to Tottenham, they want to go to a Champions League club”, Postecoglou told reporters.
“I signed Micky van de Ven this year — he’s not a bad player, is he? And we were in the Champions League? No.
“That’s a beautiful discussion for me to have. That’s one of the discussions I have: Why do you want to come to Tottenham? Because if you want Champions League football and that’s all you want, you don’t want to come to Tottenham; you just want to go to a Champions League club.
“I want people to come to Tottenham who know this club, know the challenge we’ve got — and we do have a challenge, we’re different to other clubs in that we haven’t had success for a while.
“I’m looking for a certain type of character that’s going to say: ‘You know what, they’re not in the Champions League but if I win something with them, that could mean something for my career and to me. So I’m up for that fight’.
“We’ve had two windows so far and I haven’t had an issue bringing the players I want to this club even though we’re not in the Champions League.”

Postecoglou was asked at what point he expects his priority of progress at Tottenham to deliver tangible success in terms of silverware or title challenges.
“Progress is not just an endless road”, he explained, “Progress has an objective of being successful. When does that happen? I was hoping it would happen this year but it didn’t, so the plan is for it to happen next year.
“At the same time, you have got to understand that progress is really messy. It’s disheartening and dispiriting — and it can really knock your enthusiasm because it’s not linear. That’s why I’m here: to bring success to this football club.”
