Could Tottenham cope without Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Harry Winks?
Tottenham Hotspur’s star England trio have pulled out of the upcoming international fixtures with injuries as they attempt to recover for the upcoming North London derby with Arsenal
Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Harry Winks have all been fantastic this season for Spurs and supporters will desperately be hoping they can all recover.
The English stars have helped form the identity of Tottenham’s successful young side, along with Eric Dier, Kieran Trippier and last season Danny Rose and Kyle Walker, who has since been sold.
Despite this, Spurs can still put together a very strong side comprised of non-English starters, which says a lot for the strength of their squad.
Tottenham’s goalkeeper and back three is unaffected, while their first choice defence has at times this season not featured an English player
Wales international Ben Davies may actually be better than Danny Rose, while Serge Aurier has a chance to usurp Kieran Trippier as the number one right-back.
In midfield Tottenham have played Harry Winks and Eric Dier as their two midfielders, but they have enough options if both are out of action, even with Victor Wanyama injured.
The weak link is up front with Harry Kane out, but Fernando Llorente is yet to show his best for Spurs.
The Spaniard has more to offer and if he is thrust into action against Arsenal as a starter, there would be no better time for him to win favour with supporters.
