Tottenham have been dealt a huge double blow ahead of their trip to Norwich at the weekend.
Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks are both suspended for the match after picking up bookings against Brighton in a 2-1 win on Boxing Day.
Both players were on four bookings heading into the match, with their cautions leading to a one-game ban in the Premier League – which comes against Norwich.
This means that Tottenham are without two of their starting midfielders travelling away to relegation-threatened Norwich. This comes as a blow to Spurs and a boost to Norwich, with Heung-Min Son also ruled out through suspension, and will leave Jose Mourinho frustrated, no doubt.
Mourinho now needs to rethink his midfield and decide who comes in to replace the duo. The likes of Lo Celso and Ndombele are at his disposal, with both players signed for big fees, Lo Celso on loan with the view to a permanent deal anyway, in the summer.
Norwich, on the other hand, could be thrown off as Daniel Farke will not know the midfield is he about to set his side up against. It disrupts Spurs’ team, but it also puts a wrench in Farke’s preparations for the match.
