Tottenham: Antonin Kinsky eligible to face Liverpool in Carabao Cup after work permit granted | OneFootball

Goalkeeper has arrived from Slavia Prague in a £12.5million deal

Tottenham new signing Antonin Kinsky has received a work permit and is eligible to face Liverpool in Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg.

Spurs announced the signing of the 21-year-old goalkeeper from Slavia Prague, in a deal worth around £12.5million, on Sunday morning but he has been waiting for the permit before joining full first-team training with his new team-mates.

Head coach Ange Postecoglou is currently without injured No1 Guglielmo Vicario, who is sidelined until late February following surgery on a fractured foot, while understudy Fraser Forster was ruled out for Saturday's 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle through illness.

Forster, 36, started 10 consecutive matches before Saturday but was "bed-ridden and still struggling" with illness over the weekend.

The veteran initially deputised well for Vicario but twice made mistakes leading to goals in the 4-3 win over Manchester United last month, and is out of contract in the summer.
