Tottenham is facing a string of setbacks ahead of their crucial derby against Arsenal, with several key players possibly unavailable due to injuries. The recent defeat against Benfica in the Europa League has further compounded their woes.
Manager Tim Sherwood revealed that Moussa Dembele, Emmanuel Adebayor, and Kyle Walker are all doubtful for the upcoming match. Dembele has been sidelined for the last two games due to injury, while Walker and Adebayor are recovering from injuries sustained during the Benfica match. Additionally, Tottenham is already dealing with absences from Michael Dawson, Vlad Chiriches, Etienne Capoue, and Erik Lamela due to various injuries.
Amidst these setbacks, the return of Gylfi Sigurdsson provides a glimmer of hope for Tottenham as they prepare for the crucial fixture against Arsenal. However, the absence of several key players poses a significant challenge for the team as they strive to maintain their position in the league standings.
