Tottenham Hotspur boss, Antonio Conte, will be without two
key players when his side tackles Chelsea in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final
second leg tie.
The two players are Heung-Min Son and Cristian Romero.
Conte said this while providing an update on Son and Romero
ahead of the Chelsea clash.
Conte’s men had lost 2-0 against the Blues in the first-leg
at Stamford Bridge last week.
“The update on Sonny, for sure, we will have to wait until
after the January international break [24 January – 2 February],” Conte was
quoted by Tottenham’s official website as saying.
“It’s a muscular problem. I repeat, it was strange because
he came off during the game [the first leg at Chelsea] with no problem, but the
day after, he felt a bit of pain, and he was injured. It’s a pity because you
know very well the importance of this player for us.
He added, “Cristian is another player who is very close to
coming back. “Today, he had a little part of a training session with us. He’s
very close, very close to coming back. We are talking about another important
player for us.
“We lost him for almost two months and I think we faced this
situation in the best possible way because Cristian, for sure, is an important
player for us and despite this, the players who played showed to be good, they
improved. For example, Davinson Sanchez, he’s improving a lot. Now, Cristian is
very close to coming back and to being available.”
The kick-off time for the match is 8.45 pm, Nigerian time.
