Checking with Sarr, who has an issue.

He&#8217;s working hard and waiting for the opportunity,&#8217; Postecoglou added.<\/p>\n<p>Rodrigo Bentancur is also pushing for a start after returning from a long-term knee injury, and Postecoglou believes the Uruguayan can cover multiple roles for the team in midfield.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think he can play a couple of different areas. He can play as a No6 or further forward as a No8,&#8217; Postecoglou said.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if Bentancur could be better suited to play a little deeper as he recovers from a lengthy lay-off, Postecoglou replied: &#8216;Potentially. It&#8217;s probably why Marcelo [Bielsa] probably used him like that for Uruguay. He did it really well and he can play there.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12787183\/Ange-Postecoglou-reveals-fresh-double-injury-blow-Tottenham-Pape-Matar-Sarr-dealing-issue-Ashley-Phillips-month-ahead-Sundays-clash-against-Aston-Villa.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ange Postecoglou reveals fresh double injury blow for Tottenham, with Pape Matar Sarr dealing with an &#8216;issue&#8217;
