Spurs manager Thomas Frank will be without two key defenders for the next match following red cards for Xavi Simons and Cristian Romero in Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool.
The game ended in disciplinary chaos, with Tottenham‘s Simons sent off in the first half and Romero receiving a second yellow in stoppage time.
The double suspension leaves Frank with a major selection headache for the upcoming festive period.
Club sources indicate that the recruitment team may look to accelerate their pursuit of a new center-back in the January window to provide more depth, as the squad continues to struggle with discipline and injuries.
