Updated . First published
There's a mole in the Tottenham camp - and Ange Postecoglou has a “fair idea” who it might be.
Postecoglou has noticed that injury news from his squad has been coming out of Tottenham ahead of games, giving opponents a crucial advantage this season.
The Spurs' line-up for the 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final at home against Eintracht Frankfurt was revealed earlier than expected, and Postecoglou was furious.

Reports before kick off stated that Wilson Odobert had suffered another hamstring injury, and the forward never made it off the pine.
The Australian coach said the club has been investigating the “leak” for a while and is close to finding the culprit.
“We have somebody within our camp who continually gives out information,” Postecoglou said.

"We have narrowed it down. We have been looking at it for quite a while, and got a fair idea where it’s coming from. We will deal with it.
“It’s not helpful to us — half of it is misinformation, half of it is half the information. Irrespective, it certainly doesn’t help our cause because on game day, we want to keep as much information in-house as possible.”
Postecoglou said opponents have had an “open line to what we do.”
"It certainly doesn't help us on game days. It's sometimes half truths and sometimes more.
"You'd like to think that everyone within our camp is working with us rather than against us. It’s disappointing."
Tottenham is enduring one of its worst Premier League campaigns, currently sitting 14th of 20 teams.
