Spurs struggling physically admits Tudor | The Citizen

"Physically, I believe, we are not in an amazing situation. They have played lots of games in the last period without lots of players available and it meant the physical condition of the team has dropped down. So, we need to use this period where we don't play the games to put some petrol in the engine so the engine starts to work better."

"They are fatigued. To do the pressing high you need to be fit, but all of them because if someone is not in the right shape, there is a problem because someone is coming late. For sure, we will improve and do these things better over time, but in this moment it's a big question what we can do and what we cannot do."

Tottenham interim manager Igor Tudor has acknowledged that his squad's physical condition is inadequate as the club fights to avoid relegation, sitting just four points above the drop zone. Having won only two of their last 18 Premier League matches, Tottenham face Fulham on Sunday in a crucial fixture. Tudor, known for demanding high-intensity football, recognizes that player fatigue and lack of fitness have compromised the team's ability to execute pressing tactics effectively. He plans to use the upcoming break between matches to improve conditioning, comparing it to pre-season preparation. The squad's fitness issues stem from playing numerous matches with limited player availability, creating a compounding problem that requires immediate attention.
