Tottenham Hotspur injury, suspension list vs. Aston Villa

Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League opener against Aston Villa.

Tottenham Hotspur head into Saturday's Premier League opener with Aston Villa having enjoyed a relatively successful pre-season.

Despite having ended their preparations for the new campaign with a penalty-shootout defeat to Inter Milan, Mauricio Pochettino has witnessed his team get the better of the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

However, the Spurs boss has been left with plenty of selection problems, with more than half-a-dozen players potentially unavailable to face Villa on Saturday evening.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the fixture in North London.


Dele Alli

Pochettino revealed at the weekend that Alli had suffered a recurrence of a hamstring injury. While describing the setback as "minor", the Argentine does not feel that the England international will come back into contention until the end of the month.
