Tottenham Hotspur injury news compared to Man Utd and Aston Villa after Brennan Johnson concern

Tottenham Hotspur's Brennan Johnson is the latest player to join the injury list, after a knee knock in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with West Ham United. This adds to Spurs' worries as they fight for a Champions League spot.

Aston Villa and Manchester United, their European rivals, also have new injury concerns. Erik ten Hag's team, Manchester United, have managed two victories in their last five games. Their most recent match against Brentford ended in a draw after a late goal rush.

With more matches this week, United hope to close the gap on Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa by beating Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. On Tuesday, West Ham United managed to hold Spurs to a draw at the London Stadium.

Kurt Zouma equalised after 20 minutes, cancelling out Brennan Johnson's opening goal. This result brought the Hammers within three points of United. Meanwhile, Newcastle United missed the chance to get within two points due to a late penalty from Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The battle for the top four spots and a place in the Europa League is set to be a nail-biter, with a tough schedule ahead. Despite drawing in West London on Saturday after the international break, United still have a chance to make a late push for the European places.

However, they'll have to do it without some key players. Injuries are hitting the top Premier League teams hard, and here's the latest on who's out of action.
