Tottenham receive major blow ahead of Leicester City tie as star defender ruled out

Juan Foyth celebrates with his Tottenham teammates

Tottenham star Juan Foyth will miss the clash against Leicester City with a hamstring problem. The club released an update suggesting the Argentine has a problem, and this will come as a blow to Mauricio Pochettino.

Foyth has been excellent in several games this season and he is our second central defender to have picked up a hamstring injury in recent weeks.

Davinson Sanchez is already nursing a similar injury and this will stretch Mauricio Pochettino’s team to the limit for some key ties.

It will be interesting to see when Foyth makes a return as we play Barcelona in the Champions League in midweek.

Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld should start against Leicester but Spurs have several other players injured.

Kieran Trippier is out for the clash against the Foxes while Erik Lamela, Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembele are continuing their rehabilitation.

Tottenham need to get a quality result as we are in a tough race for the Champions League spots. We defeated Southampton in the previous game and need to play better than we did in midweek.

Hugo Lloris was excellent between the sticks but our defence has to be tighter against the Foxes. Hopefully, we will come out unscathed from this clash and have more players fit to face Barcelona.
