Tottenham Hotspur are without three of their key attacking players against Chelsea.
The young Tottenham Hotspur forwards, Kazaiah Sterling and Troy Parrott, could be named in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad to face Chelsea on Thursday.
Both players were notably absent from the Tottenham Under-23 side to face Athletic Bilbao this evening.
And given that Spurs are without Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Dele Alli for the League Cup semi-final second-leg tie at Stamford Bridge, their omissions appear to be connected.
Sterling was on the bench for Tottenham’s 2-1 win at Fulham on Sunday, with Parrott part of the travelling squad.
And Alli’s sudden unavailability could see the latter promoted to Pochettino’s 18.
Sterling has only played two minutes of senior football for Tottenham, making his one and only appearance against APOEL Nicosia in December 2017.
Parrott, however, has yet to even make the bench – although he is little more than three years younger than his teammate, who turned 20 last November.
