Ange Postecoglou has Rodrigo Bentancur Tottenham call to make that impacts Giovani Lo Celso

James Maddison's early exit through injury in Tottenham's 4-1 defeat against Chelsea could potentially leave Ange Postecoglou with a decision to make in midfield going into Saturday's clash at Wolves. Going down in the Chelsea area under no contact just prior to half-time, the England international made way at the same time as Micky van de Van after the defender appeared to pull up with a hamstring injury.

Postecoglou admitted in his post-match press conference that the Dutchman's injury could be «a pretty significant one» as he looked to be in some pain after his run back to goal came to an abrupt stop. On the other hand, the 58-year-old mentioned in an interview with the BBC that Maddison sustained a «knock on the ankle» and «it made sense to make a couple of changes at that point» with Tottenham already one man down.

Sounding more like the ex-Leicester City man was taken off as precautionary measure, all will be hoping that both Maddison and Van de Ven's injuries are not anything too serious and that they can be back on the pitch sooner rather than later. If indeed Maddison is out of Saturday's trip to Molineux, Postecoglou will need to decide on the man to take the 26-year-old's position in the side.

Whereas the numbers in defence are extremely few and far between at present due to the injuries and suspensions to come from the Chelsea defeat, the same cannot be said about the middle of the park as Postecoglou has a decent amount of players to choose from. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg certainly deserves a start after his outstanding showing against Chelsea but the fact he is not as attack-minded as some of the other midfield candidates could work against him.

The game in the West Midlands could possibly see Rodrigo Bentancur
