Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has made a stunning claim that there is a "leak" within the club who is providing sensitive information to the media.
The Australian coach has vowed to identify the source after details of striker Wilson Odobert's hamstring injury were leaked before Spurs' Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt.
The north London side drew 1-1 with the German club on Thursday night in the first leg of their tie.
Postecoglou didn't hold back in his assessment of the situation.

"There's no doubt we've got a leak inside the club. I don't know why. It doesn't help us," he said.
The Spurs boss appears confident about identifying the culprit.
"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," Postecoglou revealed.
He added: "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."

Tottenham had to contend with leaks about Wilson Odobert before their Europa League draw with Frankfurt

Reports had claimed that Odobert was sent for scans ahead of the Frankfurt match, with the young striker remaining on the bench throughout the entire game.
However, Postecoglou confirmed on Friday that the player is "OK" and had trained as normal.
The leak comes at a difficult time for Tottenham, who currently sit 14th in the Premier League after what has been a disappointing campaign.
Their only chance of salvaging something positive from the season appears to be through success in the Europa League.
Thursday's 1-1 draw with Frankfurt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium wasn't the result Spurs had hoped for in their quarter-final first leg.
The north London club fell behind early when Hugo Ekitike scored for the visitors.
Pedro Porro managed to equalise midway through the first half, bringing Tottenham back into the contest.
Despite creating chances, luck wasn't on Tottenham's side as they struck the woodwork twice during the match.

Postecoglou appeared resigned to his team's misfortune this season.
"I'm resigned to the fact that the football gods have got their eyes elsewhere this year," he said after the match.

"They're obviously busy with other clubs and other managers so whatever we get, we're going to have to do it without them this year."
The result leaves everything to play for in the second leg, which takes place next Thursday in Germany.
Before that, Spurs will travel to face Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday.
