- Japhet Tanganga out of United clash
- Dele Alli has already been suspended for social media conduct
The Telegraph have revealed that Japhet Tanganga will also be absent for Spurs after being ruled out with a back stress fracture, goin into Friday’s restart against United.
The 21-year-old defender has played an important role in Mourinho’s plans since the turn of the year, so it comes as another blow for Spurs and another boost for United.
Back in March, United were ready to head to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the back of an 11-match unbeaten run.
Spurs were struggling without star man Harry Kane in particular before the Shutdown, losing five of their last six games and drawing the other.
The break has helped the likes of Kane, Heung-min Son and Steven Bergwijn return to full fitness though, similarly to how United have regained the services of Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford.
Jose Mourinho has already been dealt a blow in the last few days though, with Dele Alli suspended for the United game due to social media misconduct.
And now, the former Manchester United manager will be without another of his first-team stars through injury.
This comes after their preparatory match against Reading was cancelled after a Norwich City player tested positive for COVID-19 after the Canaries defeated Spurs last week.
Friday’s hosts haven’t had the ideal preparation, so let’s hope the Reds can capitalise and reboot the strong run of form.
