BREAKING NEWS: Ange Postecoglou press conference – Tottenham boss on Radu Dragusin injury and attacking woes

Ange Postecoglou is holding his press conference following Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day in the Premier League and we’ve got live updates from it.

Postecoglou had midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and left-back Destiny Udogie available again and the Spurs boss handed Djed Spence his fourth consecutive start. Yves Bissouma and James Maddison were on the bench and Brennan Johnson was back in the line-up against the club he spent his formative years at.

Johnson was denied by a flying Matz Sels save before the hosts took the lead just before the half hour mark when Anthony Elanga was played through by Morgan Gibbs-White’s excellent pass and got beyond Udogie to steer a shot past Fraser Forster. Johnson had two further efforts saved by Sels after that but Tottenham could not find a way past the organised Forest side put out by their old manager Nuno Espirito Santo, with Spence also picking up a late red card after landing a second booking.

Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Postecoglou after the game. Scroll down for his latest updates from the press conference at The City Ground.
