Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou reveals potential triple Spurs injury blow for Brighton finale
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son will both miss Sunday's Premier League season finale against Brighton.
The Australian revealed that Romero has been struggling with a toe injury for some time, while captain Son has a foot issue. Both played through their injuries to appear in Wednesday night's Europa League final win over Manchester United in Bilbao.
Postecoglou told reporters on Saturday: 'Romero has been struggling with his toe for some time so we'll leave him out, and Sonny as well.'
The Spurs boss added that midfielder Yves Bissouma would face a late fitness test after picking up a knock in the final in midweek.
'Bissouma got a knock in the game, so he's kinda 50/50 at the moment,' Postecoglou said. 'The rest of them, physically anyway, are okay.'
Postecoglou also confirmed that Mathys Tel would likely feature against Brighton, though talks have not yet taken place to determine the Bayern Munich loanee's long-term future.
Lucas Bergvall flew to Bilbao with the Spurs squad ahead of the Europa League final earlier this week but was ruled out ahead of the match. He is not expected to be involved on Sunday, either.
Dejan Kulusevski remains absent, having undergone surgery on his knee earlier this month. Postecoglou is unsure whether he will be ready in time for the start of next season, saying he had 'only basic information' about his recovery.
James Maddison had previously been ruled out for the season after suffering a knee injury in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final tie against Bodo/Glimt, with Radu Dragusin also a long-term absentee for Tottenham after undergoing a knee operation in February.

The Chelsea goalkeeping conundrum: Would Mike Maignan have represented an upgrade?
At the end of an eventful June mini-transfer window that briefly looked as if it might address both of the biggest concerns that Chelsea supporters have about their team, the sporting leadership at Stamford Bridge have opted to park any reassessment of their goalkeeping options for now. Liam Delap has arrived to provide a real No 9 alternative to Nicolas Jackson in time for the upcoming Club World Cup and, at the other end of the pitch, Milan and France No 1 Mike Maignan was the market opportunity upon whom Chelsea homed in to potentially give coach Enzo Maresca a more polished, proven foundation for his team than Robert Sanchez or Filip Jorgensen. Advertisement Maignan is entering the final year of his contract at San Siro but, as detailed in this week's Transfer DealSheet, Milan are holding to a valuation significantly higher than the €15million (£12.7m; $17.1m) Chelsea have indicated they are willing to pay for a player who could move as a free agent in summer 2026. As a result, they have ended their interest in the 29-year-old for now — though there is nothing to stop them pursuing a pre-contract agreement with him in a little more than six months' time. A footballer's value is typically determined by the mechanics of the transfer market, with sporting directors and owners of rival clubs engaging each other in a game of negotiation and leverage. That is vital in determining whether or not a mooted deal happens, but in this case it is ultimately less interesting for supporters than the footballing proposition: would Maignan actually represent a meaningful upgrade on Chelsea's current options at his position? Looking at a goalkeeper's primary responsibility (saving shots) provides the foundation for a compelling case to sign him. Over the course of 23,153 league minutes played for French side Lille and Milan since the start of 2017-18, he has 8.7 goals prevented — calculated by Opta as the difference between actual goals conceded and the post-shot xG value of chances conceded — at a mildly positive average of 0.03 goals prevented per 90 minutes. Sanchez and Jorgensen are both significantly inferior to Maignan in this metric, across far fewer league minutes. Djordje Petrovic, who shone on loan at Strasbourg in the French top flight this season, has performed better than Maignan, with 22.2 goals prevented at an average of 0.23 per 90. Petrovic may simply be an exceptional shot-stopper, but at age 25 has played fewer than 9,000 league minutes since the start of 2017-18, so it is also possible that his eye-catching numbers would regress at least a little over a larger, more comparable sample size. The positive value of his goals prevented is concentrated overwhelmingly in his seasons with New England Revolution in MLS and Strasbourg, while he struggled in his lone campaign playing for Chelsea. Advertisement Maignan's ability to be a net positive in terms of keeping the ball out of his goal, over the equivalent of more than 250 league appearances for Lille and Milan, marks him out as a safe pair of hands. But in the modern game, goalkeepers in elite teams are asked to do much more than simply save shots. Maresca wants Chelsea's goalkeeper to be just as comfortable operating outside his penalty area as within it, both to disrupt opposition attacks and to provide an additional passing option in possession. When it comes to being a sweeper-keeper, Maignan is as active as they come; no goalkeeper in Europe's top four leagues (England, Germany, Italy and Spain) made more ball recoveries outside their penalty area in 2024-25. His average of one ball recovery outside the box per game was precisely double Sanchez's average (0.5) for Chelsea in the same campaign, and also far more frequent than Jorgensen's average in 2023-24, which was his final season as Spanish club Villarreal's No 1 (0.6). Maignan is quick out of his box to intercept longer opposition passes behind his defence, but also remains controlled enough to make a good decision once he reaches the ball. Here, against Napoli in March, he jumps to meet a bouncing ball at head height with opposition striker Romelu Lukaku in close proximity and cushions a header to a team-mate rather than clearing it out of play: There is every reason to think that Maignan could be an asset to any team who seek to defend high up the pitch, but what about his ability in possession? That aspect of Petrovic's game has always been regarded as the most questionable fit with Maresca's style of play, while match-going Chelsea fans have not exactly relished the experience of watching Sanchez and Jorgensen bait pressure from opposition forwards before attempting to play through and around it. Advertisement Maignan absolutely backs himself on the ball; it is not difficult to find clips online of him dribbling around other teams' attackers, dropping a shoulder and chopping the ball away from attempted tackles, and waiting until the last possible moment before playing a pass. It is rare for him to be caught out in these moments, and he generally makes good decisions. But any Chelsea supporters who think replacing Sanchez with Maignan would bring an end to those heart-in-mouth sequences of passing under pressure would probably be disappointed. The prevailing trend to court danger in your own defensive third begins with the passes that goalkeepers are instructed to play, not necessarily the ones they would choose to make. Maignan is more reliable in these situations than most, but he is no stranger to playing what is earning a reputation as the most dangerous pass in football, as the below sequence in France's 2-0 win against Germany in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals last week highlighted. Maignan draws one German attacker towards him before nudging the ball out to Adrien Rabiot, who has a clear escape pass out to the left flank but receives under serious duress in front of his own penalty area. His first touch takes him the other way, he is bundled to the ground by Niclas Fullkrug and Deniz Undav converts the chance presented to him. Only a VAR intervention, for a foul on Rabiot, prevents Germany halving that two-goal deficit. Longer distribution distinguished Maignan early in his time at Milan. He is capable of launching the ball deep into the opposition half, right onto the head of his striker or perfectly into the stride of a winger, as he does to spring Rafael Leao for a devastatingly direct goal below: Despite his repeated public vows to substitute Sanchez if he kicks the ball long, Maresca does recognise the value of more direct kicking from his goalkeeper in certain situations. The results of this with the Spaniard have been pretty erratic, and it is hard not to conclude that Maignan would at least be an upgrade in this regard. Advertisement Maignan's assertiveness off his line does not always translate to set-piece situations; Liverpool twice exploited his conservative positioning to score through centre-backs Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk in a 3-1 win against Milan last September in the league phase of the Champions League. One of those was the result of the 32-time France international's misguided attempt to punch the ball clear. But, on the whole, he clears the bar that neither Sanchez nor Jorgensen set particularly high during this season, despite a stronger end to the campaign from the former. Maignan's age could also make him a solid 'bridge' goalkeeper for a few years while Chelsea develop 19-year-old newcomer Mike Penders, who will be involved in their challenge at the Club World Cup. We now know Maignan will not be with them in the United States over the coming weeks, but the market opportunity his contract situation presents is one that Chelsea may want to keep a close eye on in the months ahead.

Forest's starting XI can compete with anyone, but the squad needs strengthening for Europe
If one thing underlines the strength of Nottingham Forest's starting XI, it is the number of men who would have been credible winners of the player of the season award. Few would argue that Nikola Milenkovic did not deserve it. The dominant defender has been a transformative presence following his £11million ($15m) arrival from Fiorentina in July 2024. Advertisement But there were many other contenders, with Matz Sels, Chris Wood, Neco Williams, Ola Aina, Anthony Elanga, Murillo and Morgan Gibbs-White all in the conversation. Beyond them, Elliot Anderson had a fine debut season following his £15m signing from Newcastle. Nico Dominguez was often an underrated presence in midfield and, when fully fit, Callum Hudson-Odoi was as dangerous as any Forest player. Forest now possess a starting XI that can compete with any top-flight opponent. It is the strongest team that the club has had in decades — a small group that Nuno Espirito Santo was able to cajole into producing a sustained challenge for Champions League qualification, before they eventually finished seventh. But there is still work to do. As they prepare themselves for a campaign that will include the additional challenge of European football for the first time in 30 years, Forest want to effectively arm themselves with two teams. Forest will aim to win the Conference League. They are also aware that, where possible, they might need to rest their best players if they are to put together another challenge for a top-five finish, while also competing for the FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Nuno likes to work with a compact squad and that will not change. The club aim to build a squad of around 23 or 24 players, which will enable the manager to retain the sense of unity that underpinned their rise from two consecutive fights against relegation to threatening the Champions League spots. The club's retained list includes 33 names, with only Harry Toffolo released. He was a highly respected figure in the dressing room, where he remained a positive influence even when not getting much game time. The club intend to extend the contract of another man who fits that description, Willy Boly, who has valuable European experience with Braga and Wolves. Advertisement The expected arrival of Botafogo trio Igor Jesus, Cuiabano and Jair Cunha will add to the squad again, which is why the number of players heading out the exit will be as significant as those coming in. Eight have been out on loan and Forest will look to find a new home for many of them again — in some cases because they are not needed, in others for their development. One permanent departure will be goalkeeper Matt Turner, who is close to completing an £8million move to French club Lyon. They previously signed Moussa Niakhate and Orel Mangala from Forest for a total of £42million. The deal would see Forest recoup much of the £10million they paid Arsenal in August 2023 for Turner, who spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace. Forest's shopping list still includes another goalkeeper, a full-back, a winger and another forward option — with Yoane Wissa still a player the club admire, having had one £22million bid rejected for the Brentford man in January. Brazil international Jesus is seen as a man who can make an immediate impact. He will compete for a starting place with 20-goal striker Wood and Nigerian international Taiwo Awoniyi. Wissa would provide another quality option, as he is capable of playing either as an orthodox forward or in a wider role. Awoniyi may find himself down the pecking order in the Premier League, but he is one of a number of players who could be valuable in Europe, which will be key in Forest's thinking. Forest will hope to find a move for another striker, Emmanuel Dennis, as he heads into the final year of his contract after returning from Blackburn Rovers. The situation is the same with midfielder Lewis O'Brien and winger Josh Bowler, who have returned from Swansea City and Luton Town respectively. At the other end, Sels has excelled for Forest, with his penalty shootout heroics having helped Forest to FA Cup wins over Exeter City, Ipswich Town and Brighton & Hove Albion. The 13 clean sheets he kept earned him the Premier League Golden Glove award, shared with Arsenal's David Raya, but Forest want a more experienced backup; somebody to push Sels for his place more than Carlos Miguel has. Forest's back four personifies the club's position perfectly. If they were able to pick a quartet of Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo and Williams in every game, they would be well equipped. But the reality is they will need more options. In Morato and Boly, they have two players who can provide that in the centre, while David Carmo, who had been on loan at sister club Olympiacos, will be intent on proving that he can compete for a place. He is not currently expected to return to Athens, where he made a positive impact, making 20 Super League and eight Europa League appearances for Olympiacos last season. Advertisement Left-back Cuiabano, 23, and centre-back Cunha, 20, are both regarded as players with bright futures if given the time and opportunity to evolve. In Brazil, Cunha is seen as a player with vast ability but also a few youthful rough edges. Presuming the deal to sign the trio of Botafogo players goes through without a hitch, Cunha would benefit from an environment where he would be able to learn from the likes of Murillo, Milenkovic and Boly. Tyler Bindon, who Forest signed from Reading before allowing him to return there on loan in January, is another exciting prospect in the centre of defence. His progress might be best served via a loan move to a Championship club. Forest's own academy product Zach Abbott is regarded in the same vein. But sending him out on loan would rob the club of one of few players in the squad with homegrown status — the others being Ryan Yates and young goalkeeper Aaron Bott. Strasbourg have the option to make 22-year-old Andrew Omobamidele's loan move permanent, while Omar Richards' loan move to Forest's sister club, Rio Ave, could also be extended. Williams, naturally a right-back, has excelled on the opposite side, to the point where he will surely be the first-choice left-back in August. Cuiabano also currently specialises in that position but has attacking instincts that make those who watch him regularly in Brazil believe he may ultimately end up playing higher up the pitch. It is on the left side where Forest are particularly keen to add another defensive option, although the fact both Williams and Aina can play on both sides gives them flexibility. The pair are heading into the final year of their contract and negotiations are underway with both to extend their deals, although those talks with Aina have been ongoing since last year. Forest plan to reshuffle things slightly in midfield, with a number of clubs — very much led by Lyon — keen on Danilo, who would have a price tag of around £20m. Forest have held a historic interest in another Brazilian, Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, and could revive that, with the former Aston Villa man not having thrived in Italy. Advertisement Anderson established himself as a key figure in the centre of the pitch, while Dominguez's dynamism also made him a versatile, useful asset. A serious hamstring injury halted Ibrahim Sangare's progress again early in the campaign, at a time when Nuno saw him as being a regular starter. But he impressed when returning to the side in the final weeks. Skipper Ryan Yates remains a big influence and is somebody Nuno trusts, so even if Danilo departs, Forest will have options. Marko Stamenic made less of an impact than Carmo while on loan at Olympiacos, making only 11 Super League appearances. He is also not currently expected to return to Athens. Manchester City have not pursued their interest in Morgan Gibbs-White, having moved for alternative targets in Rayan Cherki from Lyon and Milan's Tijjani Reijnders. But it may still be a long summer for Forest, as they look to hold on to their most creative player, with City not the only club monitoring his situation. Newcastle continue to track Anthony Elanga, having had a deal that was potentially worth £45m rejected for the winger during the last summer window. Forest do not want to sell the Sweden international, who is a key part of the electric counter-attacking style that Nuno has instilled in his side. Forest are in the market for another winger themselves, while also hoping to agree a new deal with Callum Hudson-Odoi, who is running into the final year of his contract. Jota Silva remains determined to prove himself at Forest and is keen to push for more opportunities. But he and Ramon Sosa, the Paraguay international, would be pushed further down the pecking order if another winger does arrive. Last season, Forest had a small core of players who almost shocked European football by qualifying for the Champions League. Their challenge is to build on those foundations while retaining the compact feel of the squad — and seek to rise again.

U's fan set to launch exciting new prediction app this summer
AN Oxford United supporter is set to launch a new football prediction app ahead of next season. Founded by Kieran Whelan, from Brize Norton, and two of his friends, TIPPL Sports will see users select six results from the 20 hardest games to predict from the Premier League down to Sky Bet League Two. The chaotic points system includes base points for correct results, bonuses for winning the 'Big Bet' and penalties for players who have poor weeks. Goal difference also contributes to a player's weekly score, ensuring no one is ever out of the title race. READ ALSO: Simon Eastwood announces United contract extension Having become bored of current apps on the market focusing on the top flight, Whelan used Microsoft Excel to create an app in a bid to engage more EFL fans. 'I decided to build a simple Excel, no budgets or score picking or anything like that, I would just choose the five hardest matches to predict from each of the top four leagues, and we would all choose six results,' Whelan explained. 'It then grew and grew, a few of our other friends joined, then friends of friends, and eventually after a couple of years I had two divisions running, relegation and promotion, and around 100 people, with more wanting to join the season after. 'I wanted to create something chaotically fun. Throughout the few years on Excel, we had a player gain as much as 36 points in one week and drop as many as minus 21. 'I think so far we've only had one season out of four where it's been won by more than 10 points, and one where the leader was first all season, and lost only on correct predictions on the final game, essentially like losing the title on goal difference. 'We even have lower league specials during international breaks where the National League and National League North and South are involved. We wanted to essentially flip the script and show that the EFL community is something that shouldn't be ignored.' CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE OXFORD MAIL ONLINE (Image: Newsquest) With the U's being a huge part of Whelan's life growing up, the idea of a fans' league for fellow United supporters is something which he wants to become a reality. He said: 'I would definitely love to see as many Oxford fans as possible getting involved, joining a fans' league, and enjoying the app. There are plans for a team's league too, so the more Oxford fans representing the club and gaining points the better.' With approximately 100 people and two divisions running in the previous couple of years, Whelan prepares for the launch of TIPPL Sports on July 18. He hopes to see the app progress into a hub for EFL fans in the future, before one day looking to take the fun overseas. For more information about TIPPL Sports, please visit:
