Tottenham handed huge injury blow at Nottingham Forest

Tottenham have been handed a huge injury concern as Brennan Johnson is the latest worry following his early substitution against Nottingham Forest on Friday night. The Welsh international made his first appearance against his former side since leaving in the summer.

He was met with a barrage of boos from the home crowd, which later turned to concern as he went down in the box following a defensive phase of play. It appeared as though Johnson was caught across the head, having gone down to ground and requiring attention.

Destiny Udogie will miss the next clash through picking up his fifth caution of the season, whileYves Bissouma is set to miss three for a straight red card later in the match with Forest.
