Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Manchester United: 5 Talking Points, Premier League 2018/19

#4 Injuries mounting for Mauricio Pochettino

Kane got injured late in the game

The injury list was already substantial prior to the game. Three midfielders, namely Mousa Dembele, Eric Dier, and Victor Wanyama are out for extended periods of time. Unfortunately for Tottenham, it looks though they might have company.

Mousa Sissoko hobbled off before half-time with an injury. Pochettino said later that it was a groin problem, and stated no clear prognosis as of now. Sissoko has improved greatly and has become a crucial player for Spurs, and he will be missed sorely. The absence will be felt more as Harry Winks and youngster Oli Skipp are the only recognised fit midfielders.

At the final whistle, Harry Kane was also pictured in distress due to an ankle problem. For obvious reasons, his loss will be a massive one. Heung-min Son will depart for the Asian Games now, which will further expose the thin squad at Pochettino's disposal. Testing times for Spurs lie ahead.
