Lucas Bergvall says one Tottenham teammate has not been ‘human’ this season
Lucas Bergvall has made a rather interesting claim about Tottenham’s season to the press back in his home country, explaining why this campaign has not been fair on him and his Spurs teammates.
Tottenham have lost more than half of the Premier League games this season and are currently languishing in 14th place in the table.

Ange Postecoglou has accepted that Spurs’ league results have been ‘unacceptable’ this season, but one does wonder if things will only get worse from here on as the Lilywhites turn their focus towards the Europa League.
However, the feeling inside the Tottenham Hotspur camp appears to be that the mitigating factors this season have simply not given the side a chance to compete.
Lucas Bergvall opens up on Tottenham’s struggles
Bergvall has been one of the few bright sparks of Tottenham’s season, having come on leaps and bounds over the last few months and establishing himself as one of the side’s most important players.
The 19-year-old has now insisted that this season has not been a fair one for Spurs, pointing out that many players in the squad have had to endure a very high workload because of the club’s injury crisis.
When asked about his compatriot and teammate, Dejan Kulusevski, who has become one of the latest Tottenham players to succumb to an injury, Bergvall told Sport Bladet: “I don’t think it’s been a fair season to be honest. Not considering how much damage we have had.
“I don’t know what the reason is, but as we have talked about with Dejan, there are many who have played an incredible number of minutes. It’s not human, so of course it’s a big factor.”
Bergvall reveals what Tottenham have told him about workload
Postecoglou recently confessed that he is carefully managing Bergvall’s workload, given the amount of minutes the midfielder has played over recent months.
The latest update from Sport Bladet confirms that the Tottenham man is in line to start for Sweden in their friendly against Luxembourg on Saturday.
When asked if Spurs have asked him not to play both games during the international break, Bergvall told the outlet: “No, I haven’t heard anything. I only play as much as the coach wants me to play
