West Ham and Tottenham are preparing for a key Premier League match, with both teams desperate for a positive result. The match is set to take place at London Stadium, with just one point separating the two sides, and both clubs looking to end a difficult season on a high.
According to Football Reporter Jamie Kemble (May 4, 2025), Tottenham has several injury concerns ahead of the game. Manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed that Lucas Bergvall will miss the match due to an ankle injury, expressing disappointment over the setback.
“He’s hugely disappointed,” said Postecoglou. “Every experience in life and football makes you stronger, makes you appreciate what you have, and he’s got an unbelievable career ahead of him, for sure.”
Another key player for Spurs, Heung-min Son, is also unavailable. Although Son is making progress and has returned to individual training, he remains out for the match.
Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke is a doubt after limping off during the Bodo/Glimt match. Postecoglou stated that while Solanke’s injury doesn’t seem serious, his availability for the West Ham game is uncertain.
James Maddison will also miss the match due to a knee injury. Postecoglou revealed that Maddison had been sent for a scan, and it’s unlikely that he will feature against West Ham.
In more long-term injury news for Spurs, Radu Dragusin is out for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on an ACL injury. He is expected to be sidelined until next winter.
West Ham will also be without a few key players. Michail Antonio, recovering from a leg break, won’t play again this season, and his recovery could take between six to twelve months.
Crysencio Summerville, who was expected to return in May, has undergone hamstring surgery. West Ham manager Potter is hopeful that Summerville will be back for the start of pre-season.
Edson Alvarez’s availability is also uncertain due to a back injury. While Potter has expressed hope that Alvarez will return soon, there is no clear timeline for his recovery.
With both teams dealing with a series of injuries, the upcoming match between West Ham and Tottenham promises to be a tense encounter. Fans will be watching closely to see how both sides cope with these challenges.
