Spurs’ top scorer in doubt
Johnson has been a revelation for Spurs this season, scoring seven goals in his last seven games. The former Nottingham Forest forward has quickly become Tottenham’s most dangerous player, proving doubters wrong with his goal-scoring prowess.
But after his early exit from the Wales game, BBC Sport reported that Johnson “was hobbling earlier in the half,” leading to concerns the substitution was injury-related.
Tottenham fans will be crossing their fingers that Johnson’s injury isn’t serious. With the forward now suspended for Wales’ next fixture, there’s hope he could return to Spurs early for medical assessment.

As Premier League action resumes, Spurs fans will have there eyes on whether Johnson is fit to face West Ham, or if Spurs will be without their on-fire forward at the worst possible time.
