Following Cristian Romero’s latest injury, Ange Postecoglou will be obliged to field a reshuffled defence.
The Argentine centre-back was replaced at halftime against Everton, and the manager acknowledged after the game that it was due to a hamstring injury.
Despite suggestions that the defender is set to return to the starting lineup against Brighton, Ange has revealed that the 25-year-old will be out for 4 to 5 weeks owing to a hamstring issue.
This is a major setback for Spurs, who were just getting back to winning ways after an injury-plagued start to the season.
The person anticipated to replace Romero in the starting XI against Brighton has been named by Evening Standard journalist Dan Kilpatrick.
Ange will have Eric Dier available to him, but right-back Emerson Royal is expected to play as a makeshift center-back with Ben Davies, according to Dan.
Ashley Phillips, a promising centre-back who has recently recovered from an injury, will also be an option for Ange.
