Team news | Spence joins Bissouma and Sarr as doubts for Foxes clash

Fri 24 January 2025, 11:25|Tottenham Hotspur

Ange Postecoglou reports that Djed Spence is a doubt for Sunday's Premier League clash against Leicester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (2pm UK).

After starting eight of our previous 11 games, the versatile defender was ineligible for our UEFA Europa League victory against Hoffenheim in Germany on Thursday evening.

However, Ange revealed on Friday morning that Djed had picked up a knock in our last Premier League outing against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday and is now doubtful for Sunday alongside Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference at Hotspur Way, Ange said: "Djed is still sore from the weekend and is a doubt for this weekend, he got a knock (against Everton), he's a doubt. Pape's still a doubt. Reggy (Sergio Reguilon) should be okay."

Djed, Sergio, Antonin Kinsky and Yang Min-Hyeok were all ineligible for Hoffenheim. Pape missed out after picking up an injury at Goodison Park. Yves was injured in the north London derby on 15 January, alongside Brennan Johnson, who remains out. Dominic Solanke was injured in training ahead of the trip to Everton and Ange reported in Germany that the striker faces up to six weeks on the sidelines.

Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven have resumed training, but neither are ready to return. Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert and Timo Werner also remain sidelined.
