Ange Postecoglou has hit back at Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens after he made a jibe towards the Tottenham boss last Saturday.
Orient fell to a 1-0 defeat by Stockport and when asked during a post-match interview whether injuries had contributed to the loss, Wellens said: 'I'm not Ange Postecoglou, keep using it as an excuse.'
Wellens has since apologised for his remark, admitting he is 'deeply embarrassed' by it and that it was a 'stupid comment'.
As Spurs prepare to face Aston Villa in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday, their absentee list could sit at a Premier League-high 11 players.
