Tottenham have been handed another injury blow ahead of their north London derby with Arsenal with Pape Matar Sarr picking up a knock on international duty.

Thomas Frank has been dealing with a lengthy injury list in north London but was able to welcome back skipper Cristian Romero in the weeks before the international break.

A trip to the Emirates looms large next Sunday in their first game back with Spurs desperate to dent Arsenal’s early title charge and pull themselves closer to the summit.

Frank’s plans for that derby clash have been dealt a blow however with Sarr forced off while playing for Senegal against Brazil in a friendly game in London.

Sarr came off early in the second-half, leaving the pitch flanked by Senegal’s medical staff.
