Spurs will be without four defensive players against Wolves on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur have suffered a quadruple injury blow as Eric Dier, Danny Rose, Victor Wanyama and Jan Vertonghen will all miss Saturday’s clash against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Versatile midfielder Dier is struggling with a thigh injury, while left-back Rose remains sidelined with a groin problem. Powerhouse midfielder Wanyama suffered knee injury against West Ham on Wednesday night.
Vertonghen – who signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2020 – remains sidelined, leaving Spurs very light in defence ahead of Saturday’s trip to the Midlands to face Wolves.
Spurs came through a difficult week after drawing with PSV Eindhoven and losing to Manchester City by putting their name into the hat for the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 3-1 win over West Ham.
Now, they will look to get back to winning ways on Saturday in a peculiar kick-off time of 7:45 with a win over newly-promoted Wolves, who have started well under manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
Spurs fans reckon they have come up with the answer to Mauricio Pochettino’s defensive injury concerns, by starting Argentinian defender Juan Foyth in a back three alongside Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez.
Foyth, 20, has failed to make a single Premier League appearance for Spurs since joining the club from Estudiantes last summer. But he starred against West Ham on Wednesday and he could be in line for his first league start.
