Tottenham injury news ahead of clash against Man City - EFL Cup
Son Heung-min – Thigh Injury (Major doubt)
- Likely return date: November 3 (vs. Aston Villa)
Son Heung-min has missed Tottenham’s last two matches against AZ Alkmaar and Crystal Palace due to a thigh injury. Given his ongoing recovery, it is unlikely that he will be risked for the upcoming Tottenham vs Man City EFL Cup match, though his fitness will be assessed closer to kickoff.
Djed Spence – Groin Injury (Major doubt)
- Likely return date: November 3 (vs. Aston Villa)
Djed Spence, who played a crucial role in Tottenham's third-round comeback against Coventry City, is also set to miss the Man City fixture. While the right-back is anticipated to return to training this week, he remains doubtful for Wednesday’s Tottenham vs Man City EFL Cup game.
With Son and Spence both unlikely to feature, Tottenham will need to adjust their strategy to counter Man City's potent offense.
Ange Postecoglou may look to other attacking options to make up for Son’s absence, while the defense will have to work hard to cover Spence’s position on the right in this Tottenham vs Man City EFL Cup game.
Spurs fans will be hoping that Tottenham's squad depth can help them stay competitive against a formidable Man City side as they aim to move one step closer to the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
