Richarlison is set for another spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury, while Cristian Romero is dealing with a minor toe problem ahead of Tottenham’s trip to Galatasaray.
Spurs enjoyed a brilliant 4-1 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, falling behind but bouncing back in style in north London.
Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke (two) and James Maddison scored the goals which helped Tottenham climb to seventh in the table.
Richarlison came off the bench and provided an assist for Solanke, but he had to be taken off shortly afterwards after sustaining another injury.
The Brazilian is yet to start a Premier League match this season and it was only his fifth league appearances of the campaign after previously dealing with another muscular injury.
He is set for another spell on the sidelines, certainly out until after the international break, and posted an emotional Instagram message, which read: ‘It’s a difficult moment, again. I was very happy working hard and playing, but now I am injured again”
‘It’s difficult to say what I’m feeling in this moment, just pray for me… I hope God will protect me.’
Romero has a much less serious problem, suffering damage to a ligament in his and has been called up by the Argentina squad for the upcoming international break.
Spurs go to Galatasaray on Thursday and then host Ipswich on Sunday so he remains a doubt for both fixtures.
Reports from Argentina, via Gaston Edul of TyC Sports, suggest he will be out for at least a week with the toe injury and so miss both games, although Tottenham continue to assess him.
Speaking after the win over Villa, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said: ‘Yeah, I know Richy obviously felt something in the action of setting the goal up, his hamstring, so we’ll see.
‘Romero yeah, it was in that challenge again. He felt his foot was sore. I don’t have any sort of further information. Obviously, he’s a pretty tough cookie, for him to come off, it must be sore, but yeah, look it’s not ideal. But again it’s another game where we’ve had to reshuffle our back line.’
Micky van de Ven is out with a hamstring injury and, while not a really serious one, is ruled out of the two matches before the international break.
