Tottenham Hotspur projected 11 for trip to Southampton
By Gary Pearson
Tottenham get set for their first away fixture in 51 days when they play against Southampton at St. Mary’s on Tuesday afternoon.
This test against Southampton, with just a single full rest day, marks the shortest time between matches for Spurs all season. Antonio Conte‘s side didn’t acquire any further injuries in their comfortable 3-0 win over Palace on Sunday.
Giovani Lo Celso suffered another injury setback after Spurs’ Carabao Cup win over West Ham. The Argentine, who’s endured a barrage of injuries since joining the north London club, injured his calf while warming down with other players who didn’t feature in the quarterfinal victory.
While his latest frustration isn’t considered serious, Lo Celso will not be available this afternoon, nor will Ryan Sessegnon or long-term absentee Cristian Romero. Sessegnon is expected back within the next week or so, while Romero won’t be back until the end of January, at the earliest.
Here’s Tottenham’s projected 11 for the contest against the Saints.
