Latest Tottenham injury news as six miss Galatasaray with double blow but Cristian Romero boost

Ange Postecoglou has given injury updates on four Tottenham stars ahead of facing Galatasaray in the Europa League. Spurs travel to Turkey off the back of beating Aston Villa and Manchester City and with a 100 per cent winning record in Europe, though a major test awaits.

Galatasaray have not lost since late August having beaten Elfsborg and PAOK in European action already this campaign. From 11 games played this season, Spurs' Thursday evening opponents have found the back of the net 34 times while also having scored the most goals from set-pieces this season.

The Lilywhites have been defensively fragile from corners since the arrival of Postecoglou, though they have only conceded twice from set-pieces this season, with those concerns to be heightened especially as both of their first-choice centre-backs will be absent.

. Just three days later, Cristian Romero suffered a toe injury in the win over Villa, though Postecoglou is hopeful he will play against Ipswich this weekend before the two-week domestic pause begins.

"Romero, I think nothing too serious hopefully," . "So, hopefully still a chance for the weekend. Richarlison also suffered an issue in Sunday's game with

"Richy injured his hamstring so I'm still getting the final information but I think he'll be out for a while. Timo Werner has been carrying a bit of a groin complaint, which is still there, so he didn't travel, and Mikey Moore picked up a bit of a virus yesterday, so we've left him at home as well. I think everyone else who's fit and eligible is here."

Summer signing Wilson Odobert returned from a five-week injury lay-off to play the final minutes of the Europa League win against AZ Alkmaar, however he then suffered an injury setback with Postecoglou revealing how long the latest problem may keep him out.

"I’d say a similar timeframe to his last one, maybe a bit longer, but it’s one of those where you don’t want to put a timeframe on it because it will really depend how quickly he heals from it," he said. Djed Spence, though not named in Spurs' European squad, is also still out because of a groin injury.

As for other concerns, Son Heung-min came off in the 55th minute against Villa having only just returned from an injury setback with the South Korea international missing three weeks because of a hamstring prior to that.
