Tottenham entered this month desperate for reinforcements to fill the gaps left by their injury list, and end it perhaps even more in need.
It seems that when one player returns from injury, another replaces him in the treatment room. With five days remaining, 10 Spurs players are battling injuries, and there is a daunting run approaching.
Until the seeming relief of hosting bottom club Southampton on April 5, Spurs will face trips to Brentford, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Fulham and Chelsea, as well as Ipswich who turned them over in north London earlier this season.
