In addition to losing to Arsenal in the North London derby 2 days ago, Tottenham Hotspur also suffered the loss of Timo Werner during the game.
Brennan Johnson, who had little effect on the left side after his introduction, was substituted for Werner. During the second quarter, Ange Postecoglou made a lineup change that put Richarlison in the center and Son on the left. Johnson then moved to the right.
According to The Evening Standard, Werner will now undergo testing before to the rescheduled match against Chelsea on Thursday night. It is not yet known if he will be eligible to be selected at Stamford Bridge.
Is Timo Werner healthy enough to play Chelsea?
Ben Davies replaced in for Destiny Udogie, who underwent a difficult afternoon against Saka and is already sidelined for the rest of the season following surgery.
Oliver Skipp was sidelined for the Arsenal encounter due to a “small knock,” according to Postecoglou during the press conference on Friday.

In the improbable event that Werner’s hamstring is tweaked, he won’t be ready to play Chelsea.
After his recent period out, it would be excellent to see Ange move back to playing Son on the left and Richarlison down the center (if he is fit enough), with Kulusevski on the right.
