When the Lilywhites welcome Liverpool to North London for Saturday’s main Premier League match, Ange Postecoglou’s unblemished start at Tottenham Hotspur will be put in jeopardy.
Son Heung-min stunned the Emirates with a brace as Tottenham battled back twice to steal a point in a thrilling 2-2 draw with North London rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
Tottenham is currently in fourth place in the Premier League standings with 14 points out of a possible 18, two positions and two points behind their upcoming opponents.
Here, Sports Mole summarizes the most recent information regarding injuries and suspensions for Tottenham before of their matchup against Liverpool, who will play Leicester City on Wednesday night in the third round of the EFL Cup.
James Maddison assisted both of Son’s goals at the Emirates after taking an odd jolt to the knee, but he was able to continue playing until he was eventually removed. Although the playmaker is thought to have been taken for scans this week, it is currently unknown if he will play on Saturday.
Brennan Johnson, who started for Spurs for the first time at the Emirates, was taken out with a suspected hamstring injury in the second half. While the extent of the injury is yet unknown, the Welshman is not anticipated to play against the Reds.
Last week, Tottenham confirmed that Croatian midfielder Ivan Perisic had sustained a “complex” ACL injury in training, and he is expected to miss out the remainder of the season in what may prove to be a cruel finish to his Spurs career.
