Tottenham Hotspur are missing a number of players right now.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko has told The Mirror that he does not agree with anybody who says the Spurs squad isn’t good enough.
Spurs beat Fulham 2-1 on Sunday afternoon, with Harry Winks snatching a last-gasp winner after a disappointing performance.
On Thursday, Spurs face another trip to West London, as Tottenham take on Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash.
Spurs lead 1-0 from the first leg, but a lot has changed since that victory at Wembley Stadium just two weeks ago.
Harry Kane is out until March with an ankle injury, Dele Alli is out until March with a hamstring injury and Son Heung-min has gone on international duty with South Korea.
That’s three top attacking players out for Spurs, whilst Sissoko himself isn’t guaranteed to face Chelsea having been substituted against Manchester United with a groin injury.
Some people have major concerns that the Spurs squad simply isn’t strong enough to deal with these injuries, as Mauricio Pochettino barely has attacking players left to pick from.
Now though, Sissoko has blasted anybody who thinks Tottenham’s squad isn’t good or strong enough, claiming the whole squad is sticking together and will compete against Chelsea, even if they have been severely weakened.
“I do not agree with those people who say our squad is not good enough, not strong enough. We believe in our squad,” said Sissoko. “We are all together and we know we are capable of doing a lot of things. Now we have to show it on the pitch and we have a good opportunity to do that against Chelsea,” he added.
