Bergvall’s injury is the 19th for Tottenham this season, the same number as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Leeds. Spurs players have missed a total of 625 days due too injury, just behind Newcastle’s 640.

Frank has eight first-team players injured, including Mohammed Kudus, rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison, and Ben Davies.
