Tottenham sweating over Pape Sarr and Djed Spence injuries as Cristian Romero ruled out of Leicester visit | OneFootball

The pair are doubts for the weekend

Tottenham are sweating over the fitness of Pape Sarr, Djed Spence and Yves Bissouma ahead of the visit of Leicester on Sunday.

Sarr also picked up a knock at Goodison and missed the trip to Hoffenheim, leaving him in a race to be fit for the weekend, while Bissouma suffered a minor muscle strain in the defeat to Arsenal last week.

Ange Postecoglou told reporters on Friday: "Djed's still sore from the weekend, he got a knock so he's a doubt. Pape's still a doubt, Reggy [Sergio Reguilon] should be OK."

“We’ll see how we go [with Bissouma]. He's definitely a doubt for Sunday but we're hoping by Elfsborg he could be right. “

The game will come too soon for Cristian Romero, who returned to training this week.

Asked if Romero could be in the matchday squad for Sunday, Postecoglou replied: " No.

“We got him back training. Him and Micky [van de Ven] are the next cabs off the rank in terms of the long-term ones.

“They've still got a bit to do in terms of getting some training into them with the team.

“Obviously we haven't been training a lot and because the other day was sort of low tempo session, it was just good to get him involved, not just for him but the players involved because they need a bit of help and encouragement and Cuti training with them gives them a big lift.

“Micky's not too far away. These players will come back, knock on wood they're not deceased, they're just injured, so they will be all back so it's not all doom and gloom.

Antonin Kinsky, Sergio Reguilon and Min-hyeok Yang are available to return to the squad against the Foxes after being ineligible on Thursday night.
