Journalist Alasdair Gold has been left exasperated by Tottenham Hotspur after their "horrendous" loss completed a "mad week" at the club which was dominated by injuries.

What’s the latest Spurs injury news?

On the Sunday before last, Spurs picked up an impressive three points at home against the reigning champions. Since then, however, things have not gone so well.

Manager Antonio Conte was already absent from that win and has since admitted that he is yet to fully recover from emergency gallbladder surgery.

On top of that, the club have been hit by an incredibly unfortunate spate of key injuries. Indeed, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris is set to be out for six to eight weeks with a knee injury; Rodrigo Bentancur is out for the rest of the season after picking up an ACL injury; Yves Bissouma has had issues too, facing seven weeks on the sidelines; while Ryan Sessegnon is reportedly out for six weeks with a hamstring problem.

Amid all that, Spurs travelled away from home to play Leicester City in the Premier League on the weekend and were soundly beaten by the Foxes 4-1.

While speaking on his YouTube channel, Gold couldn't hide his emotions as he explained: "I've covered this club for more than half a decade now, we're approaching seven years.

"I have had to report a lot of weird things, a lot of stupid decisions made, a lot of bad luck.

"I don't think I've ever kind of had to report on such a mad week in terms of just disaster after disaster unfolding, and topped off by an absolutely horrendous performance that there were no real excuses for whatsoever."

What do these injury updates mean for Spurs?

With Spurs pushing for a spot in the top four, their loss to Leicester City will have come as a major setback as it leaves them fifth, two points behind Newcastle United despite having played one more game than the Magpies.

What's more, they started that game with Bentancur who proved his importance to the team by actually opening the scoring. He then came off with his injury after 65 minutes and won't be able to help the club steady the ship for some time now.

Things might not get any easier for the club this week either as they have a Champions League match against AC Milan with Conte's other key midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg suspended for the trip to the San Siro.

All in all, Spurs could be set for a rough period as they look to adapt to all these recent setbacks with their manager still recovering from his own health issues.
