Mourinho reveals big bergwijn injury blow for tottenham
According to reports, Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur winger Steven Bergwijn has suffered a significant injury setback.
Bergwijn, who has been a key player for Spurs this season, has been ruled out for several weeks after picking up a hamstring injury during the 2-0 win over Manchester City last weekend.
Mourinho revealed the extent of the injury during his pre-match press conference ahead of Tottenham's Premier League clash with Burnley, stating that Bergwijn will be sidelined for at least six weeks.
The Portuguese manager expressed his disappointment at the timing of the injury, saying: "He's going to be out for six weeks, which is a big blow for us. He's been playing very well, and we're going to miss him."
Bergwijn's injury is a major blow to Tottenham's chances of finishing in the top four this season, as he has been one of the team's most creative and attacking threats. The Dutch international has scored three goals and provided four assists in 14 appearances for Spurs this season.
Mourinho will now have to rely on other players to fill the void left by Bergwijn's absence, with the likes of Lucas Moura, Son Heung-Min, and Harry Kane expected to play more prominent roles in the team.
Tottenham's next five fixtures are against Burnley, Chelsea, Sheffield United, Norwich City, and Aston Villa, and Mourinho will be hoping that his team can navigate this period without Bergwijn without too much damage.
