Tottenham injury news and return dates for Brentford: Richarlison, Odobert latest

After surviving a monumental scare in the EFL Cup, Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League duty at home to London rivals Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

The Lilywhites were minutes away from seeing another shot at silverware pass them by on Wednesday night, only for late Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson goals to break Coventry City hearts in a 2-1 third-round victory.

Prior to scraping through in the cup, Ange Postecoglou's side were subjected to an agonising 1-0 North London derby defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League, leaving them with just one win from their opening four games as they languish in 13th spot.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with the Bees, who can also look forward to an EFL Cup fourth-round showdown thanks to a 3-1 win over Leyton Orient in midweek.

Just 18 minutes into Wednesday's win over Coventry, Wilson Odobert was forced off the field with a suspected hamstring injury, and Postecoglou has conceded that the issue looks to be a serious one, so he will not be seen on Saturday and potentially for a few weeks after that.
