Tudor on Team News:...

Tottenham manager Igor Tudor addressed the media ahead of the Premier League match against Liverpool at Anfield (kick-off at 16:30 GMT).

Here are the highlights from his press conference:

On injury updates and the status of Joao Palhinha and Cristian Romero, who were injured in the last match: “No, they won’t be available. Micky [van de Ven] is also out. [Yves] Bissouma has a muscle injury, and Conor [Gallagher] has a fever, but he is likely to play.”
Tudor mentioned there is a “chance” that Palhinha and Romero could return for the second leg against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.
Destiny Udogie is confirmed to return for the match against Nottingham Forest on Sunday, March 22.
Regarding goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky, who he substituted early in the last match: “He returned the next day and was positive and effective in training. It’s likely a unique situation for many.”
On the challenges currently facing the club: “It’s tough. Not just because of the last game, but due to the overall situation. It’s a challenging time, and changing things is crucial. In life, you can choose how you perceive circumstances.”
Tudor elaborated: “You can either feel sorry for yourself or you can choose to fight. You can decide to be a victim or actively change your circumstances. This is the mindset I shared with the players. The glass can be seen as half-empty or half-full. There are a lot of difficulties, but these tough times are temporary. I have faith in those players who seize this opportunity to stand tall and evolve into better individuals and athletes.”
On Archie Gray’s versatility: “He has had to adapt his position in every match he’s played. While he is an exceptional talent, this suggests some underlying issues. He has my utmost respect.”
When asked if he feels he is the right person for the job: “That’s not something I’m focusing on.”
