In a blow to Tottenham’s aspirations, Heung-min Son, James Maddison, and Brennan Johnson are doubtful for their upcoming clash with Liverpool. The trio played pivotal roles in Spurs’ recent 2-2 draw against Arsenal, but manager Ange Postecoglou has expressed concerns about their availability.
Johnson, who sustained a hamstring injury in the match against Arsenal, has been confirmed to miss the upcoming fixture. Postecoglou mentioned in a pre-match interview, “Brennan will miss out this week. It’s nothing too serious, but it’s enough to keep him out.”
While Maddison and Son participated in Friday’s training, their status for the Liverpool game remains uncertain. Postecoglou remarked, “Madders and Sonny, they trained today, but will see how they are after training. Both got through everything we needed them to get through, but it’ll depend on how they pull up.”
With key players like Ivan Perisic sidelined with an ACL injury and others facing fitness concerns, Tottenham faces a challenging scenario. Meanwhile, Liverpool receives a boost as Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to return. The clash between the two teams adds an extra layer of anticipation with these uncertainties in the mix.
