Here, we examine the possible matchday lineup for Tottenham against Wolves on Saturday in light of the injuries to James Maddison and Micky van de Ven as well as the suspensions of Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie.
When Tottenham plays Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday, Ange Postecoglou won’t have a lot of options. Spurs lost 4-1 to their London rivals Chelsea on Monday night, their first league loss of the season. However, that wasn’t the only thing that went wrong for the team.
Spurs had to deal with the injuries to James Maddison and Micky van de Ven in the first half, as well as Cristian Romero’s dismissal after a poor tackle on Enzo Fernandez on minute 33. Ten minutes after the interval, things were to get even worse as Destiny Udogie was sent out for his second booking of the game.
With those problems added to the extended absences of Ryan Sessegnon, Manor Solomon, and Ivan Perisic, Postecoglou and Spurs will be somewhat short-handed heading into this weekend’s game in the West Midlands. Ben Davies’s return to the matchday roster is anticipated to provide Postecoglou with an additional defensive option following his injury during Chelsea’s loss.
After suffering a four-point loss to Chelsea, what would Tottenham’s matchday roster include this weekend?
Guglielmo Vicario will start between the sticks as usual in the starting lineup, but there are concerns about the four players who will form the defensive line. Eric Dier will undoubtedly start at center back, and Pedro Porro will undoubtedly start at right back.
