The Tottenham manager said ahead of the game: “He is OK. He was not 100 per cent well going into the game, he had an illness the last couple of days.
“But he was keen to give everything to start and I had a feeling he would last 60 or 70 minutes. It is a short turnaround to Friday but I am pretty confident he will be OK.
On Udogie, Postecoglou said: “He felt a bit of tightness.
“Again, when we got the second goal with the short turnaround, we thought it was wise to take him off. Again, I do not think it is anything significant.”
Spurs have exceeded expectation this season and Postecoglou will now hope that his team continue get all three points.
