Ange Postecoglou confirms three fresh injury concerns ahead of Tottenham v Manchester United
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has revealed three players are set to miss out against Manchester United with fresh injury concerns, as per Alasdair Gold.
Postecoglou and Spurs will travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United on Sunday 14 January.
A win would see them leapfrog arch-rivals Arsenal and move back into the Premier League’s top four.
However, the Australian has confirmed in his pre-match press conference ahead of the showdown (12 January) that he has three fresh injury concerns to add to his ever-growing list of absentees.
As per Football London’s Tottenham correspondent, Gold via X (12 January), Ben Davies, Giovani Lo Celso and Dane Scarlett are all unavailable for the trip up north.
“From last week, Ben Davies came off with a hamstring injury – probably looking at a month or so with him. Gio Lo Celso, similar, but it’s a bit harder to diagnose where he’s at so we’ll send him for tests on Monday but he’s out.
“Dane Scarlett has picked up an injury in training so he’s out. Both muscle injuries – Dane hamstring, Gio muscle.”
Davies, Lo Celso and Scarlett all featured in Spurs’ most recent match, a 1-0 win against Burnley in the third round of the FA Cup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (5 January).
Cristian Romero, James Maddison and Manor Solomon also remain sidelined.
