Spurs news: Tottenham trio still out with injury ahead of Huddersfield clash
Tottenham face a bit of an injury crisis ahead of the Huddersfield clash as three players are still out with injury.
Harry Kane and Dele Alli joined the injury list after the Champions League win over Manchester City.
The England striker injured his ankle ligaments in the 1-0 win over City while Alli suffered a fractured hand.
It is to be seen when the pair make a return for Spurs, and the club added that Serge Aurier, Eric Dier and Erik Lamela are still unavailable.

The trio were injured for the City clash too
The trio did not play in the Champions League win over City. Aurier and Lamela have hamstring issues while Dier has a hip flexor problem.
Spurs should still have enough to get the better of relegated Huddersfield, but we cannot afford to have further injuries to an already thin squad.
Dier is the big blow for the side as the Englishman could provide some respite to the pairing of Moussa Sissoko and Harry Winks.
Kieran Trippier has done a marginally better job than Aurier this season while Lamela has spent a lot of time injured.

Spurs have to keep winning games as a finish in the top four is a must this season. The Champions League tie against Manchester City will not be easy either and we play them again in the Premier League.
