Under-18 ace involved, Richarlison boost - 5 things spotted in Tottenham training for Man City

Ange Postecoglou and Tottenham could not have asked for a tougher game as they look to return to winning ways in the Premier League. Having fallen to defeats against Chelsea, Wolves and Aston Villa in their last three games, Spurs' last league victory came at Crystal Palace one month ago.

Needing to immediately bounce back to ensure they keep pace with their Champions League rivals, Tottenham travel to reigning champions Man City on Sunday in the 4.30pm kick-off. At a time when the team are desperate for a win to put an end to their bad run of form, their visit to the Etihad Stadium really couldn't have come at a worse time.

The Tottenham players currently available to Postecoglou have been putting in the hard work at Hotspur Way this week as they prepare for the Man City clash. Here are five things we spotted in the latest training session at their Enfield base.

Tottenham really are limited when it comes to fit and available first-team players at present following a host of injuries. Already having some cruel luck on the injury front in recent weeks, Spurs were dealt another hammer blow following the news that Rodrigo Bentancur will be out on the sidelines for two-and-a-half months after sustaining ankle ligament damage against Aston Villa.

The senior numbers are extremely limited and a host of academy players have been called up to first-team training to ensure that Postecoglou and his coaching team have sufficient numbers to work with. Video footage from Spurs training this week very much highlighted just how bad things are in terms of injuries.
