Tottenham team news: Mauricio Pochettino reveals extent of Moussa Sissoko and Ben Davies injuries ahead of FA Cup clash vs Crystal Palace
Spurs were dumped out of the Carabao Cup on Thursday to rivals Chelsea on penalties and will be keen to bounce back at Selhurst Park
Tottenham will assess Moussa Sissoko and Ben Davies for the FA Cup fourth-round at Crystal Palace.
Sissoko (knee) and Davies (groin) picked up injuries in the Carabao Cup semi-final defeat at Chelsea.
Harry Kane (ankle), Dele Alli (hamstring) and Son Heung-min (international duty) will all not play.
And Mauricio Pochettino confirmed Sissoko’s injury is not as bad as first feared.
“Sissoko is okay, tired I think,” he said. “A small thing for Ben Davies. The rest are okay.”
