Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham Hotspur’s latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Aston Villa.
With an EFL Cup spring in their step, Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action on Sunday, welcoming Aston Villa to their North London home.
Ange Postecoglou‘s side produced the upset of the last 16 in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, besting Manchester City 2-1 to set up a quarter-final showdown with their bitter rivals Manchester United.
That shock success versus Pep Guardiola‘s side was the perfect response to a chastening 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace last weekend, a result that left Spurs in a mediocre eighth place in the Premier League table.
Here, Sports Mole wraps up the latest injury and suspension news for Spurs ahead of the visit of Villa, who were eliminated from the EFL Cup with a 2-1 home loss to Crystal Palace in midweek.
