Spurs Confirm Maddison, Solanke Injuries Minor After 3-1 Win

Tottenham Hotspur secured a 3-1 victory over Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final, with early goals from Brennan Johnson, James Maddison, and a penalty by Dominic Solanke. Both Maddison and Solanke were substituted after picking up minor injuries, but manager Ange Postecoglou expressed optimism that neither injury was serious, describing the substitutions as precautions. The win gives Spurs a two-goal advantage going into the return leg, although Bodo/Glimt managed a late goal to keep the tie competitive. Tottenham are also dealing with additional injury setbacks, as Lucas Bergvall missed the match after suffering an ankle injury in training and was seen on crutches, with his season status still uncertain. Postecoglou praised the team’s discipline and the home crowd’s energy, emphasizing the importance of composure as Spurs aim for European silverware and Champions League qualification. The coach also highlighted strong performances from replacements like Yves Bissouma, who stepped up in Bergvall's absence.
