Tottenham Hotspur vs Watford - Spurs wait on Eriksen for Watford clash

Posted Friday, October 18, 2019 by PA

Tottenham will assess Christian Eriksen’s dead leg ahead of the Premier League game with Watford.

Eriksen picked up the injury while on international duty with Denmark and will face a fitness test.

Hugo Lloris (arm) begins his long stint of rehabilitation, though Serge Aurier does at least return from suspension.

Watford are without Sebastian Prodl after the defender suffered a hamstring injury against Sheffield United last time out.

He has joined captain Troy Deeney (knee), Etienne Capoue (back) and Isaac Success (groin) on the sidelines.

Capoue, Prodl and Success are thought to be close to returning but, while Deeney is making good progress after surgery in August, the skipper is likely to be out at least another month.

Tottenham provisional squad: Gazzaniga, Vorm, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Aurier, Sanchez, Rose, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Wanyama, Eriksen, Skipp, Son, Alli, Lamela, Moura, Kane, Parrott, Ndombele, Walker-Peters.

Watford provisional squad: Foster, Dawson, Mariappa, Kiko, Holebas, Foulquier, Cleverley, Doucoure, Hughes, Capoue, Deulofeu, Gomes, Janmaat, Cathcart, Kabasele, Chalobah, Sarr, Pereyra, Gray, Welbeck.
