Tottenham Hotspur midfield man Moussa Sissoko missed out on playing in Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s last match.
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Moussa Sissoko has told the Daily Mirror that his injury isn’t bad.
Sissoko picked up a groin problem against Manchester United just under two weeks ago, and he was ruled out of playing in Tottenham’s match against Fulham last weekend.
The French midfielder’s absence was felt, although Spurs still managed to pick up a 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage.
But Sissoko insists that his injury problem is not serious, and has even suggested he could return tomorrow evening against Chelsea.
“It’s not too bad. I did some exams and it’s not so bad,” the £95,000-a-week midfielder (Daily Star) said. “I’m doing some treatment to try and be ready as soon as possible. We need to see. We will see for the Chelsea game.”
If Sissoko does make it back in time to play for Tottenham at Stamford Bridge it would be a major boost.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side are suffering badly with injuries, with Dele Alli and Harry Kane both on the treatment table.
Sissoko’s return would at least bolster their options in central midfield, and would offer their defence far more protection.
Tottenham are protecting a 1-0 lead over Chelsea tomorrow, after beating Maurizio Sarri’s side narrowly at Wembley in the first-leg.
