Tottenham crisis as Pape Matar Sarr becomes latest star to suffer training ground injury
TOTTENHAM have sunk deeper into injury crisis after Pape Matar Sarr was added to their crocked list.
Ange Postecoglou will be going into the match against Hoffenheim on Thursday with a host of senior stars injured.
And they now also be without Sarr for the clash after he had to pull out of training earlier today.
That means Postecoglou has as many as 11 stars sidelined through injury.
To add insult to injury, three players who are fit are unavailable to play due to them not being registered in the competition.
Those are Djed Spence, Antonin Kinsky and Sergio Reguilon.
The North London club were handed a boost with both Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur seen back in training today.
However, the pair remain doubtful of being selected.
That means Spurs will be forced to field a makeshift XI of stars for the crunch tie.
The stars ruled out are as follows: Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Micky Van de Ven, Wilson Odobert, Yves Bissouma, Fraser Forster, Sarr and the aforementioned Romero, Bentancur doubtful.
Despite the news, Sarr was strangely pictured in the background of training pictures released by the club.
Tottenham sit ninth in the Europa League table, one place below the automatic knockout qualification spots.
Spurs have seen their Premier League form drop off a cliff with four defeats in their last five games leaving them 15th in the table.
