Ange Postecoglou has got even more injury problems to deal with as shown by the Tottenham team he has selected to face Everton on Sunday in the Premier League.
Spurs' huge injury list only increased further this week with the news that £65million striker Dominic Solanke is set for a period on the sidelines after picking up a problem ahead of the game on Sunday. Postecoglou had already confirmed that Brennan Johnson and Yves Bissouma were new doubts for the match and both miss out.
The Tottenham boss was already missing most of his first choice backline in Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie along with long-term absentee Wilson Odobert. Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur remains in the concussion protocol and Timo Werner has a hamstring injury.
For this game, Postecoglou has had to use most of the remaining fit players in his first team squad, with Lucas Bergvall starting again in a young midfield with Archie Gray and Pape Matar Sarr and Richarlison having to settle for a place on the bench after only recently returning to action.
Here's the Tottenham team Postecoglou has selected: Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Spence; Sarr, Gray, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Son, Maddison.
Subs: Austin, Reguilon, Hardy, Ajayi, Oluesi, Min-hyeok, Moore, Richarlison, Lankshear
