Ange Postecoglou will be missing another two players for the trip to Aston Villa on Sunday, with Spurs guaranteed to be without at least 12 players for the FA Cup clash.
Tottenham were sent tumbling out of the Carabao Cup at the semi-final stage on Thursday, succumbing to a limp and lifeless display against Premier League leaders Liverpool. The Reds won 4-0 and 4-1 on aggregate to leave Spurs with two cup competitions to fight for now.
The first opportunity comes immediately, away at Villa on Sunday evening in the fourth round of the FA Cup. But Spurs will not have any of their injured players back in action. In fact, Postecoglou will have to do without one more player from the defeat to Liverpool and two from the win over Brentford last Sunday.
Richarlison went off injured in the first half of the loss to Liverpool, slamming the ground in frustration having only just worked his way back from injury.
"It’s disappointing for him," Postecoglou said. "He was emotional last night because he’d worked really hard to get himself back, but again it’s another setback that he’s going to have to deal with and we’ll hopefully get him back as soon as possible."
Postecoglou revealed during his pre-match press conference that none of the injured players would be back for the game against Villa, while Dane Scarlett will also be missing. He missed the Liverpool clash due to being cup-tied and that is the case for the FA Cup this weekend too.
