Ange Postecoglou confirms another Tottenham injury blow ahead of Nottingham Forest

Giovani Lo Celso joins Tottenham's extensive injury list after sustaining a knock in training ahead of the game against Nottingham Forest tomorrow night. Spurs were already without James Maddison and Micky van de Ven before the latest news.

Their 4-1 victory against Newcastle in their previous outing ended a winless run of five league matches and manager Ange Postecoglou who is hoping to build on that against Steve Cooper's Forest confirmed Lo Celso picked up an injury in training.

He told LondonWorld: "The only one that's new this week is Gio [Lo Celso]. Unfortunately, he got a bit of a niggle at training, I don't know what it is, but he missed training today so he's not available tomorrow. Hopefully, it's nothing too serious."

Spurs have won just three of their 12 Premier League fixtures played on a Friday, including one this season at Crystal Palace, drawing four and losing five. They started the season in brilliant form before a defeat to Chelsea at home, which sent them on a trip of five without a win before they stopped the rot against Eddie Howe's side.

Interestingly, Brennan Johnson is returning to the City Ground for the first time since he made the switch to north London in the summer, he scored 29 goals in 109 Forest appearances and has been a bright spot in Postecoglou's side. 

Spurs will go level on points with Manchester City with 33 if they can win tomorrow night and kickstart another run after a difficult month which threatened to derail all the good work they did at the beginning of the campaign.
