Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Stoke City

Tottenham Hotspur will turn their attention to the EFL Cup on Wednesday night as they look to avoid a shock defeat at Stoke City's bet365 Stadium.

Spurs have suffered a slump in form in the Premier League, with just one point from their last three games seeing them slip from league leaders to fifth place.

However, they will be favourites to progress into the semi-finals of the EFL Cup as they take on a Stoke side sitting just outside the playoff places in the Championship.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

The extent of the injury has not yet been revealed, but it is highly unlikely he would recover in time for this match.
