Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Luton Town.

With the chance to temporarily rise to the top of the Premier League table, Tottenham Hotspur head to newly-promoted Luton Town for Saturday's lunchtime kickoff.

Ange Postecoglou's team scraped past a nine-man Liverpool crop 2-1 last weekend thanks to a last-gasp Joel Matip own goal, although their win was overshadowed by an incorrectly disallowed Luis Diaz strike for the Merseysiders.

Owing to that huge stroke of fortune, the second-placed Lilywhites are just one point behind leaders Manchester City, who they can leapfrog with a victory at Kenilworth Road before Pep Guardiola's team tackle Arsenal on Sunday.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with the Hatters, who went down 2-1 to Burnley on Tuesday evening.

Giovani Lo Celso

Alfie Whiteman

Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: Unknown

Shot-stopper Alfie Whiteman is on the road to recovery from ankle surgery, with no timeframe being placed on his return, but he is only on the fringes of the first team anyway.
