Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou has warned young attacker Brennan Johnson not to be disheartene if he misses the trip to the City Ground (Dec 26) against his former club as the team look to bring on a more balanced player in Dejan Kulusevski.

However, recently, he has lost his first 11 to Kulusevski because the Swedish player is stronger and can help with the defense better. Therefore, Ange has come out ahead of the Welsh player who may need to be a super sub in the clash with the ‘Foresters’.

“There’s nothing special to do, Brennan just keeps doing what he does,” the 59-year-old said.

“Actually, we just balance the team. At the moment, we are using ‘Deki’ and he has done very well, scoring in the last five games.”

“It’s just about balancing the team. Another thing is that we don’t have many options, so we have to manage our squad so that no one is overweight.”

“We have lost two or three players in that area – so it’s better that Brennan is being preserve for now, so he can come in and decide the big moments.”
