Tottenham suffer double injury blow to Vertonghen & Dembele ahead of Barcelona clash

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino hinted that he could be without Jan Vertonghen and Mousa Dembele against Barcelona in Wednesday’s Champions League clash.

In Tottenham’s win over Huddersfield Town, Vertonghen and Dembele were both substituted at half-time. Victor Wanyama and Harry Winks were brought on for the injured pair, with Eric Dier replacing Vertonghen at the back.

Vertonghen is believed to have suffered hamstring injury that he picked up just 15 minutes into the game. Dembele received a knock that will be looked at before a decision is made on his availability.

The duo are now major doubts for their upcoming midweek fixture and aren’t the only ones Pochettino could be without.
