Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens has apologised for a "stupid comment" he made about Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou after Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Stockport.
Asked in a post-match interview whether injuries had played a part in the loss, Wellens said: "I'm not going to make excuses, I'm not Ange Postecoglou."
Tottenham have slipped to 16th in the Premier League amid an injury crisis that has left them without nine first-team players for Sunday's trip to Brentford.
Later on Saturday, Wellens withdrew the comments, saying he was "deeply embarrassed".
