Team news | Man Utd vs Spurs | Trio to miss out
Fri 12 January 2024, 13:00|Tottenham Hotspur
Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Ben Davies, Giovani Lo Celso and Dane Scarlett will miss Sunday's trip to Manchester United.
Ben and Gio were both forced off in the second half of our FA Cup third round win over Burnley on Friday and both have suffered hamstring injuries which will see them out of this weekend's clash at Old Trafford.
Ange has confirmed defender Ben is expected to miss the next for to five weeks while assessments continue to learn the extent of Argentine Gio's injury.
Meanwhile, forward Dane will also miss the encounter with United after he picked up a knock in training this week.
"Both (Ben and Gio) obviously came off in the last game," Ange began. "Ben has got a hamstring injury so it'll probably be around four or five weeks (out for him).
"Gio is similar but it is a little bit more complicated. We're still trying to get to the bottom of it. I think he is having another assessment on Monday but he will miss this game (United clash).
"Dane Scarlett also picked up a knock in training so he will miss out this weekend as well."
James Maddison, Ivan Perisic and Manor Solomon remain our longer term absentees, while captain Heung-Min Son (Asian Cup) and Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma (Africa Cup of Nations) are away on international duty.
