Up to 11 Tottenham players might be sidelined for their FA Cup third-round match against Burnley on Friday.
Considering Bournemouth’s recent performance, Spurs concluded 2023 with a fantastic 3-1 victory over the Cherries. Pape Matar Sarr, Son Heung-min, and Richarlison all scored goals to secure the win for Ange Postecoglou’s team, who now sits just one point behind fourth-place Arsenal.
But against Bournemouth, the team was hit with injury troubles again. After Alejo Veliz fell down late in the game, Spurs had to play the remainder of the game with 10 men after Pape Matar Sarr, who had a hamstring injury, fled the field in tears.
Although Sarr’s fitness status was updated more favourably by Postecoglou, he will still be unavailable for Tottenham as he departed to join the Senegal squad for the Africa Cup of Nations. Ivory Coast is hosting the competition, while Mali’s Yves Bissouma will also be present. Meanwhile, Spurs will probably be without their lucky captain, Son Heung-min, for around a month when South Korea plays in the Asia Cup.
Spurs received good news when Postecoglou revealed that defender Micky van de Ven had resumed full training. The centre back, who has been out since suffering a hamstring injury against Chelsea in November, is getting close to joining the team again, but tomorrow night might be too soon for the 22-year-old.
