Tottenham Team News
However, a report inย Football London implies that Lenglet’s injury is not serious and that he’ll be in contention on the weekend. He may even be in the starting XI.
Mason will probably say more tomorrow on this situation, but here is what he’s said so far.
โHe had a shoulder problem, you could probably see. Hopefully nothing too serious, too bad,” Mason said after the game:
โHe got treatment on the pitch, it was late on in the game, it was a set piece and we didnโt really want to lose a central defender to defend a set piece so we made that change.โ
The Clement Lenglet situation is the only real item of true Tottenham “team news” right now. ICYMI Team Captain and No. 1 Hugo Lloris was shut down for the rest of the season, with that being made public prior to the last fixture.
