Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou insisted that there is a "leak" inside the club.
The Australian made the claim after reports emerged prior to the club’s UEFA Europa League quarter-final first-leg encounter with Eintracht Frankfurt alleging that Wilson Odobert had suffered another hamstring injury.
The Frenchman went on to be an unused sub for the 1-1 draw, which was live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
"There's no doubt we've got a leak inside the club," Postecoglou told reporters. "I don't know why. It doesn't help us. We've narrowed it down. I've got a fair idea where it's coming from.
"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."

Postecoglou added that Odobert had trained ahead of Spurs’ Premier League game with Wolves on Sunday.
He said: "He's okay. With all the players who came back from long-term injury we've taken a different approach.
"All these guys who have come back. Wilson trained today and we'll see how he is."
Postecoglou added that while Dejan Kulusevski remains ruled out for the trip to Wolves, he could return to face Frankfurt in next Thursday’s second-leg in Germany.

"Kulusevski has trained today with the players who didn't play last night," said Postecoglou. "He looked really good. He's not available this weekend, and he won't start on Thursday because he's been out for so long, but he's looking good."
The Europa League offers Spurs their final chance to win silverware this season, and will also help Postecoglou maintain his record of "always winning" a trophy in his second campaign at a club.
A Europa League victory would also provide Spurs with a route to next season’s UEFA Champions League.
