Bergvall sustained the injury during a training session ahead of Spurs' Europa League semi-final first-leg victory over Bodo/Glimt. The 19-year-old was seen on crutches and wearing a protective boot at the match, indicating the severity of the injury. Postecoglou stated that Bergvall had "tweaked the ligaments in his ankle," and the injury is significant enough to sideline him for the rest of the season .
This setback is particularly unfortunate for Bergvall, who has had an impressive debut season with Tottenham, making 45 appearances across all competitions and recently signing a new contract extending his stay until 2031 .
Bergvall's absence adds to Tottenham's growing injury concerns as they prepare for the Europa League final in Bilbao. Key players James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are also sidelined due to injuries, further impacting the team's midfield options .
Despite these challenges, Postecoglou remains focused on preparing the squad for the crucial match, aiming to secure a European trophy and end the club's 17-year wait for major silverware.
