Sanchez: Spurs squad can cope in absence of Kane and Alli

The Colombian defender has insisted that the Tottenham squad is strong enough to cope without two of their star men

Davinson Sanchez is confident Tottenham's squad is well equipped to mount a Premier League title challenge despite injuries to Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

Three successive wins have lifted Spurs to within five points of leaders Liverpool after 25 matches, putting them firmly in the title picture alongside Manchester City.

All three victories have come without Kane (ankle), while Alli (hamstring) was hurt before Harry Winks' late strike in the 2-1 triumph against Fulham on January 20, contradicting suggestions Tottenham's squad is too small to challenge after no signings in either transfer windows this season.
