Spursvs.Burnley

Ange Postecoglou has now overseen four defeats on the bounce courtesy of Sunday's 4-2 loss to Liverpool, where the Lilywhites again struck twice late on but were made to pay for their appalling display in the first 60 minutes.

However, Aston Villa's loss to Brighton & Hove Albion means that Spurs are still seven points behind the Lions with a game in hand, but one more Villa win or another Tottenham defeat will extinguish their top-four hopes for good.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with the Clarets, who are staring down the barrel of demotion owing to last week's 4-1 pummelling at the hands of Newcastle United.

Timo Werner

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Timo Werner's North London derby race was run in the first half on April 28, and Postecoglou has now conceded that the German's thigh issue will keep him out for the rest of the season, so he may very well have played his final game for the Lilywhites if Spurs opt against making his RB Leipzig loan permanent.

Ben Davies

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Likewise, Ben Davies sustained a calf injury in the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal, and the Wales international will not take to the field again this season either.

Destiny Udogie

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Davies is joined in the infirmary by fellow left-back Destiny Udogie, who underwent season-ending thigh surgery a few weeks ago and has also been ruled out of Euro 2024.

Fraser Forster

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: Unknown

Backup goalkeeper Fraser Forster is working his way back from a foot fracture sustained in training in February, and even though he was originally only expected to miss a couple of months, he is yet to return either and may have to wait until 2024-25 for his comeback.

Manor Solomon

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

Manor Solomon has made just six appearances for Tottenham this season owing to a troublesome knee issue, which he has undergone a couple of surgeries to correct, and he is also targeting a return in pre-season.

Ryan Sessegnon

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: Unknown

Completing Tottenham's list of long-term absentees, Ryan Sessegnon had only just come back from a previous thigh injury before hurting himself while playing for the Under-21s, and he will spend another several weeks on the treatment table.
