Tottenham Hotspur is set to lodge an official complaint with FA over Charlie Adam’s tackle on midfielder Paulinho. Spurs fear that the midfielder may be ruled out for a month through the injury.
Charlie Adam tackled Paulinho late in the game on Sunday, making it the fourth time the 28-year-old Scot has injured a Spurs player since he started playing in the Barclays Premier League in 2010. As per reports in the Daily Mail, Paulinho suffered damage to ankle ligaments in Spurs’ 3-0 win.
Adam had previously injured former Spurs winger Gareth Bale twice and also midfielder Scott Parker. After being abused in social media, Charlie Adam tweeted: “Just for the record and the people tweeting me abuse saying so, I don’t and never have had anything against Spurs and I would never intend to injury a fellow professional.”
Spurs are likely to complain to the FA over his horrendous tackle on Paulinho and will want them to take strict disciplinary action on the midfielder.
