Spurs’ chances of coming away from Gary O’Neil’s in-form team with three points have slimmed dramatically after Postecoglou announced the worrying new injuries.

Both Porro at right back and Udogie on the left flank are integral to the boss’ style of play.

Explaining the injuries in a press conference, Postecoglou said: “Pedro Porro picked up a strain at training. Probably a couple of weeks for him”.

“Destiny Udogie picked up a knock, not too serious. Game next weekend, should be back”.

“Fraser Forster – fracture in his foot, probably a couple of months”.

The loss of Forster, whose injury is the most serious, poses less of a threat seeing as the goalie has only made one appearance all season in the Carabao Cup.

Emerson Royal is likely to replace Porro at right-back, while Ben Davies could line up on the left .

Spurs’ have no doubt had an unlucky season when it comes to injuries.

£40million summer signing James Maddison has undergone a hefty spell on the bench with an ankle injury and has only returned to full fitness in the last few games.

The same goes for Dejan Kulusevski who suffered a hamstring injury in September.

Spurs were also put under pressure by the Asia Cup which deprived them of their absolutely vital captain Son Heung-min.

And at the same time the AFCON temporarily took away Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma.
