Drama at the Top: Tottenham Faces Underdog Challenge from Nottingham Forest
Team news for Tottenham v Nottingham Forest
Spurs’ victory in Frankfurt came at a price. James Maddison, who won the decisive penalty, was forced off after a heavy collision with goalkeeper Kaua Santos.
Postecoglou later revealed there was no serious injury, so the midfielder may still feature on Monday. However, captain Son Heung-min is set to remain out due to a persistent foot problem, while Radu Dragusin continues his recovery from an ACL tear.
With Son missing, Mathys Tel has stepped up. The teenage loanee from Bayern Munich has scored in his last two league outings and could make history as the first Spurs teenager to net in three consecutive Premier League matches.
Nuno Espirito Santo offered little clarity on his team selection, stating only that Ola Aina (calf) and Taiwo Awoniyi (thigh) would be assessed “day-by-day.” Despite a poor showing against Everton, the Forest boss is expected to stick with most of his starting XI, with Anthony Elanga likely to replace Jota Silva.
