Tottenham are on high alert ahead of the crucial North London derby. Destiny Udogi and Pedro Foro, the main left and right wing players at the heart of Tottenham’s tactics, are likely to be absent. For goalscorer Son Heung-min, both hands are tied.

The British media ‘Guardian’ reported on the 25th (Korea time), ‘Doki U’s absence could have a negative impact on Tottenham’s defense and attack against Arsenal. He expressed concern that POWs might also lose the game.

Udo-gi has already been confirmed to be out for the season. Last weekend, I injured my left hip during training and ended up on the operating table.

The Guardian reported, ‘Over the weekend, news broke that Udoggi would miss the rest of the season. Tottenham fans were shocked. He described it as a disaster to lose Udogi when Tottenham are about to face Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City.
To make matters worse, it is not clear whether the prisoners will also participate. The Guardian said, ‘There is a possibility that the opposing team’s prisoners will also be absent. The situation worsened. Foro injured his hamstring in the last game against Newcastle. He expressed concern, saying, “Tottenham can handle losing one of Udogi or Poro, but if both are missing, their offensive power will suffer a big blow.”
The Guardian said, ‘The dynamic will drop significantly like when we lost 1-2 against Wolverhampton last February. In the game where Ben Davis and Emerson Royale came on instead, the decline in the quality of the backs was evident. He was worried that if they were used in the current constitution, Tottenham would experience difficulties.
Tottenham coach Angie Postekoglou uses the left and right wingers very aggressively. Postekoglou doesn’t just use them forward. Udogi and Poro are central. When attacking, he behaves almost like an attacking midfielder. Tottenham, who use 4-3-3, currently secure a numerical advantage by deploying 5 to 7 players in midfield. Udogi and Poro are the players best at executing this tactic.
If this formation works properly, Son Heung-min will never have to move down to the second line. All you have to do is stay ahead and focus on pressure and penetration, and when a good pass comes, you just have to finish it without many touches. However, if he is behind in the midfield battle or ball distribution is not going smoothly, Son Heung-min has no choice but to move down to the second line and participate in the build-up. Son Heung-min’s strengths are disappearing.
In other words, if Woo Do-gi and Poro cannot play, there is a high probability that Son Heung-min will be forced into a situation where he cannot play to his strengths.
The Guardian said, ‘If both starting full-backs are absent, 90 minutes will feel long for Tottenham. ‘We won’t be able to stop Arsenal’s title challenge,’ he warned.
