Tottenham Hotspur duo out of Leicester City clash

Tottenham Hotspur duo Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso have been ruled out out of the clash against Leicester City this weekend.

Lo Celso had to return early from international duty with Argentina after sustaining a hip injury, while Sessegnon, who is yet to make his debut, has suffered another setback as he tries to recover from a hamstring injury.

It hardly changes anything, to be honest. Leicester still have to bring their best onto the pitch, and Tottenham still have to try to channel their best at the King Power Stadium.

Blowing a two-goal lead against Olympiacos will certainly not have helped Spurs’ already shattered confidence. They have not really been at it so far this season.

Leicester, meanwhile, have been the better of the two without any doubt. They will, however, want to put the 1-0 defeat to Manchester United behind them.

They’ll have realised that United were there for the taking and that a great chance of getting points at Old Trafford wasn’t made the most of.

Rodgers got the tactics wrong to begin with, and the early penalty didn’t help the visitors’ cause either. Back at home, though, you would expect different tactics and a more attacking team.

Leicester cannot have two defensive midfielders again, and they definitely, definitely cannot have James Maddison on the wing again. We have seen enough of the no.10 out wide to know that he’s a waste in that position.

When you have Harvey Barnes, you do not bench him for an attacking midfielder. It’s common sense.
