Tottenham have long list of injuries for north London Derby

  • Richarlison is available for the first time in months
  • Timo Werner the latest to sustain hamstring injury

Tottenham will be looking across at their north London rivals without an ounce of sympathy given the injury woes they’ve been subject to this season.

While Arsenal’s campaign has stuttered due to long-term injuries sustained first by Martin Odegaard and now Bukayo Saka, Ange Postecoglou has force to work without a first-choice defence for much of the ongoing campaign.

Spurs’ injuries have compromised their Premier League campaign, but they retain a chance of silverware in three cup competitions. The club’s poor league performance minimises the pressure on Wednesday’s north London derby, but winning away at Arsenal would monumental scalp for a manager who’s yet to convince the entire Lilywhite fanbase.

Tottenham’s injury situation has changed since the weekend, and here’s the latest ahead of their trip to the Emirates.

Goalkeepers & Defenders

Guglielmo Vicario rushed back onto the training pitch once he saw Antonin Kinsky strut his stuff on debut against Liverpool last week. The 21-year-old’s impressive start in north London will only hasten Vicario’s desire to return from a broken ankle. Which is expected to keep him out until next month.

Fraser Forster has missed the last few games through illness. It remains to seen whether he’ll include on the bench against Arsenal.

At centre-back, Radu Dragusin แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ and Archie Gray to continue as a pair with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven both sidelined until the end of the month. Ben Davies is closing in on a return from a hamstring injury. Could included in Wednesday’s matchday squad.

Destiny Udogie has also succumbed to a hamstring issue and will return in mid-February.

Midfielders

Rodrigo Bentancur was force off in the opening exchanges against Liverpool. After a concerning sequence. The midfielder was stretchered off and rushed to hospital, with Postecoglou confirming that Bentancur had suffered a concussion.

He wasn’t involved against Tamworth at the weekend and will not feature at the Emirates. He follows concussion protocol.
