Tottenham might start against Liverpool without Brennan Johnson and James Maddison.
Tottenham Hotspur may experience significant setbacks due to injuries in their upcoming match against Liverpool on Saturday. Brennan Johnson, a Welsh forward who Spurs recently acquired in a high-profile transfer, strained his hamstring against Arsenal on Sunday.
Due to complaints about his hamstring, Johnson was forced to be replaced during the second half of the North London derby. Although the extent of his injury has not yet been determined, early reports from football.london via ECHO indicate that, depending on the diagnosis that will be made in the next few days, he could be out for up to six weeks.
Johnson’s absence would undoubtedly be a setback for Spurs, who spent about £45 million on his acquisition earlier this month. His performance and contributions were still eagerly anticipated, and Tottenham’s plans could be affected by his injury.
In addition, James Maddison’s forced exit from the field due to injury during the same game against Arsenal may present another injury issue for Tottenham. A knee problem developed for Maddison following a challenge from Jorginho.
Injury-hit Spurs
The extent of Maddison’s injury, like Johnson’s, is still unknown. According to reports, he will have a scan this week to determine the extent of the injury in North London. His suitability for this weekend’s match against Liverpool at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will depend on the results of this scan.
Football injuries are an unavoidable part of the game, so Tottenham and Liverpool will both need to adjust to their current situation. It will put Spurs’ depth in the squad and the ability of other players to step up in the absence of key players to the test.
Given the caliber of both Johnson and Maddison, this news must be welcomed in Liverpool. Even though the Reds have been dominating in every competition this season, Jurgen Klopp could not afford to ignore Spurs, who are also on the rise under Ange Postecoglou.
They have the chance to profit from their opponents’ absence of key players and build on their successful season debut. It serves as a reminder that injuries can happen to any team, and Liverpool will be attempting to benefit from the circumstance in order to win the upcoming game.
