Tottenham Hotspur have received a potential boost ahead of their daunting Premier League clash with Liverpool, as the visitors face several selection headaches ahead of the trip to north London.
Tottenham Hotspur will be desperate to return to winning ways in the Premier League as pressure continues to mount on manager Thomas Frank.
The fixture against Liverpool could not have come at a worse time for a struggling Spurs side, who have secured just one league win in their last five outings.
However, the match could also prove to be a blessing in disguise, as a victory against the reigning Premier League champions would go a long way in boosting confidence within the Tottenham camp.
Liverpool face injury concerns ahead of Tottenham clash
Thomas Frank’s side have now been handed an injury boost ahead of their clash with Arne Slot’s men, as several Liverpool players are doubts coming into this fixture.
Joe Gomez is set to miss this matchup, having picked up a hamstring injury against Brighton & Hove Albion in Liverpool’s last league encounter, and the defender is expected to be replaced by Conor Bradley.
Dominik Szoboszlai, arguably Liverpool’s player of the season so far, is also a doubt and could miss the trip to the capital after picking up a knock against the Seagulls, although a final decision on his fitness is expected on Friday.
MORE SPURS STORIES
Mohamed Salah has travelled for the Africa Cup of Nations and will miss out, although he could be replaced by Jeremie Frimpong, who has been sidelined for some time but could return at the weekend.
Spurs set to navigate injury problems of their own
Tottenham have significant injury concerns of their own, however, with James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke all currently sidelined.
Destiny Udogie is also not expected to return until next year, while Radu Dragusin and Kota Takai are still working their way back to first-team involvement.
