Spursvs.Man City

sportsmole.co.uk, 12 May 2024, 07:00
Still in with a shot of Champions League qualification, Tottenham Hotspur face their toughest remaining Premier League test at home to champions Manchester City on Tuesday night.

Ange Postecoglou's men sent Burnley back down to the Championship thanks to a 2-1 come-from-behind beating of the Clarets on Saturday, where Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven cancelled out Jacob Bruun Larsen's opener.

Relegating Burnley saw fifth-placed Tottenham cut the gap to fourth-placed Aston Villa to four points with two games remaining, but the Lions will eliminate Spurs from top-four contention by overcoming Liverpool on Monday night.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with the Citizens, who rose back into top spot above Arsenal owing to a 4-0 thrashing of Fulham on Saturday lunchtime.

Yves Bissouma

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

On Monday, Postecoglou announced that key midfield cog Yves Bissouma had picked up a knee injury, and the Mali international will not be available to Spurs for the remainder of the season.

Richarlison

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Richarlison was a surprise omission from Brazil's 2024 Copa America squad, which head coach Dorival Junior explained was due to a calf injury. True enough, Postecoglou confirmed that the attacker had sustained the issue in a recent training session, and he is not expected to play again this season.

Timo Werner

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Fellow attacker Timo Werner damaged his thigh in the North London derby loss to Arsenal last month, and if his loan from RB Leipzig is not converted into a permanent deal, he has played his last match for the Lilywhites.

Ben Davies

Status: Out

Type of injury: Calf

Possible return date: Unknown

Ben Davies was another casualty of that 3-2 loss to Arsenal with a calf problem, one that will also prevent him from taking to the field again this term.

Destiny Udogie

Status: Out

Type of injury: Thigh

Possible return date: Unknown

Spurs currently have no recognised left-back available due to the absences of Davies and Destiny Udogie, who is on the mend from season-ending thigh surgery and is also set to miss Euro 2024.

Fraser Forster

Status: Out

Type of injury: Foot

Possible return date: Unknown

There was initially hope that Fraser Forster's foot fracture would have healed by April, but the veteran goalkeeper is still yet to return to the matchday squad and will ostensibly not come back until 2024-25 either.

Manor Solomon

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown

A severe knee injury has limited Manor Solomon to a mere six appearances in a Tottenham shirt this term, and he is targeting a return in pre-season after undergoing a number of surgeries.

Ryan Sessegnon

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: Unknown

However, the unfortunate Ryan Sessegnon has played just once for the senior squad this term due to a pair of hamstring problems, the latter of which he sustained on Under-21s duty, and there is no chance of him being fit for Spurs' closing two matches.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR'S SUSPENSION LIST

Tottenham Hotspur have no suspended players for this match.
