Lucas Beribal (Tottenham) ended the season with an injury.
Tottenham announced on the club's official website on the 2nd (Korea time) that `'Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou is likely to be unable to play for the rest of the season due to an ankle injury during training. He gave words of encouragement.
Tottenham won 3-1 in the first round of the Europa League semifinals in 2024-2025 against Boddo/Glimt (Norway) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 2nd. Tottenham, which won the first match, will play the second match at Asmaira Stadium in Nordland, Norway, home to Bodo/Glimt on the 9th. Tottenham has no record of winning official tournaments since winning the League Cup in the 2007-2008 season. He is determined to relieve his indifference through this competition. But there was no Veribal on this day. Surprisingly, I visited the stadium on crutches.
Postecoglou said "Verival is deeply disappointed. Every experience in life and football will make a player stronger. He certainly has an incredible career ahead of him. I don't have much to say other than that. I always tell people to do what's in front of them right now. He has been a great contributor to the team. There is no doubt that he will come back stronger. Every player suffers setbacks for different reasons. This is a part that can make players stronger and grow. I'm sure Veribal will do the same."
