The four Tottenham players who are out of the North London derby through injury

Antonio Conte does not have fresh injury concerns, but some of his key players have already said goodbye to the season due to injury and will hope their colleagues can finish on a high.

Tottenham head into the north London derby on Thursday night four points behind Arsenal, who know that a win will secure Champions League at the Emirates next season.

Spurs have to win and hope that the Gunners stutter at some point in their remaining two games to get them Wednesday-night football, even though there is a feeling that Europa League football will be appreciated given their troubles earlier in the season.

Spurs produced one of their best performances of the season to hold title contenders Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield, however they lost ground to Arsenal who won against Leeds to open a four-point gap.

Tottenham fans are aware that Arsenal requested the postponement of this fixture four months ago due to injuries as opposed to Covid, and they feel that the Gunners have turned things to their advantage because Spurs were on fire at the time of the original date.

Antonio Conte recently moaned about it but Arsenal fans won’t mind as they have seen a complete turnaround of events, after they started the season with three defeats without a goal.

Conte knows he just has to get on with his job without regrets, but the absence of some of his players through injury is one situation he cannot change.

So with Spurs needing a win, here the men who will be watching from the stands due to injury and hoping for the best.
