TOTTENHAM’S injury crisis has deepened after Ben Davies suffered a setback in training to potentially leave Ange Postecoglou without a fit centre-back for Sunday’s visit of Wolves.
Spurs were already without Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Davies for Thursday’s 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest, but their issues were compounded when Radu Dragusin was forced off with an ankle problem.
It meant Tottenham finished the game with midfielders Archie Gray and Yves Bissouma at the heart of defence, and they could continue against Wolves after Davies suffered an untimely setback.
