?Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that they'll be without defensive duo Kieran Trippier and Juan Foyth for their trip to Leicester City this weekend.

Spurs currently sit in third, six points behind Liverpool  and eight behind league leaders  Manchester City , as the festive period approaches and the schedule gets more busy, Pochettino will be hoping his squad can stay as fit as possible.



While the injury situation doesn't leave Pochettino with a selection headache, the Argentinian will know that any further defensive injuries will plunge his squad into crisis.



Spurs have now confirmed on their official Twitter, that Mauricio Pochettino will not have Kieran Trippier or Juan Foyth available for selection this weekend.

This weekend however, the team appears to pick itself with Toby Alderweireld predicted to partner Jan Vertonghen at centre back and Serge Aurier to continue at right back.

The English right back has a groin injury which was sustained against Crystal Palace  prior to the international break, and Foyth has picked up a hamstring problem which sees him out of action against Leicester.

Pochettino will be hoping that the partnership formed between Alderweireld and Vertonghen over the past couple of seasons will be enough for his side to take all three points against Leicester.
