Suspension Woes and Injury Updates Shape Tottenham vs. Everton Clash
Tottenham faces a significant setback as Yves Bissouma, already having received a red card earlier this season, will serve a four-match suspension due to his dismissal against Forest. Destiny Udogie also finds himself on the sidelines after accumulating his fifth yellow card. This leaves Tottenham with key absences as they prepare to take on Everton.
In addition to the suspension concerns, Tottenham continues to grapple with long-term injuries, with Alfie Whiteman, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon, Micky van de Ven, and Ryan Sessegnon all unavailable. However, the return of Giovani Lo Celso and Ashley Phillips provides a boost to their squad.
Despite Brennan Johnson's bloody exit from the City Ground in the previous match, the Welshman is expected to feature in the Tottenham XI, alongside Emerson Royal and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who are available despite serving suspensions.
On the Everton side, Dele Alli remains sidelined with a groin problem, denying him a reunion with his former club. Andre Gomes is also unavailable due to a calf issue. Manager Sean Dyche is doubtful about Abdoulaye Doucoure's chances of recovering from a thigh problem in time for the clash. However, there is a possibility of Vitaliy Mykolenko returning from a groin injury. Ashley Young and Seamus Coleman face uncertainty as major doubts for the match.
With limited options in midfield and defense for Everton, the frontline may see changes with Beto and Arnaut Danjuma, a former Tottenham loanee, potentially injecting freshness into the Toffees' attack. The suspension and injury dynamics promise an intriguing encounter between Tottenham and Everton, with both teams navigating key absentees and seeking vital points in the Premier League.
