Tottenham XI vs Chelsea: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injuries today | OneFootball

Close

Two fresh injury blows have handed Ange Postecoglou a selection conundrum for Tottenham’s clash with Chelsea tonight.

Ben Davies has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a calf injury picked up in Sunday's north London derby.

With Destiny Udogie also sidelined until late summer, Emerson Royal is likely to deputise at left-back for the crunch visit to Stamford Bridge.

Timo Werner will miss the rest of the campaign as well, with the hamstring injury which forced him off in the first half of the defeat to Arsenal, leaving Postecoglou with a decision to make up front.

Heung-min Son was ineffective through the middle against the Gunners so Richarlison could start for the first time since mid-February, with the South Korean star returning to the left flank.

Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski are pushing for starts to complete the front three, although the Swede is also in contention to replace the struggling James Maddison at No10.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was a surprise starter against Arsenal but Postecoglou could recall Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr after they were benched on Sunday, with Rodrigo Bentancur's spot at risk too.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Emerson; Bissouma, Sarr, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son

Injuries: Davies, Werner, Udogie, Sessegnon, Solomon, Forster

Doubts: Skipp
