Tottenham could be without the talents of summer signing Brennan Johnson for their upcoming weekend clash with Liverpool.
Ange Postecoglu’s men will play host to the Reds’ visit on Saturday, with the ‘brilliant’ attacker, in the words of Micah Richards (Nottinghamshire Live), being closely monitored according to Spurs insider Paul O Keefe on X.

A hugely exciting prospect for the top four hopefuls, it would be a shame – as it is for any injured player – for the 22-year-old to miss what is sure to be a thrilling encounter between two rejuvenated teams.
It’s unclear yet exactly what heights are within Tottenham’s reach, though there’s no question that fans are riding one hell of a wave at the moment under the guidance of former Celtic boss Postecoglu.
It could, in fact, represent our toughest fixture yet in the English top-flight and a real sign of what our ambitions are in this current campaign.
