Tottenham heading into the second north London derby of the season with nine players sidelined. Rodrigo Bentancur’s nasty-looking concussion sustained against Liverpool makes him the latest player to populate the treatment room. Spurs will again be without most of their first-choice backline, though new signing Antonin Kinsky as impressed in goal during his two appearances to date.
Fitness woes are easing for Ange Postecoglou, though, with a number of players just days or a couple of weeks away from a return. With that in mind, here’s a look at the latest Tottenham injuries. The midfielder is back home and doing fine after his sickening head injury during Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie with Liverpool.
Bentancur was substituted in the 15th minute of a 1-0 victory over Liverpool after he required lengthy treatment having appeared to headbutt the floor from a corner after six minutes. He missed the FA Cup trip to non-league Tamworth as he is going through concussion protocols, which rules him out of the north London derby on Wednesday and.
“He obviously went to hospital after the game,” Postecoglou explained last week. “He was concussed and they did every check needed to do and I understand he's gone home now. So that's real positive news for us because it was a bit of a distressing situation to deal with for everyone.
