Tottenham injury, suspension news and return dates for Liverpool clash: Maddison, Romero, Solanke, Vicario, Van de Ven latest

Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's injury and suspension news ahead of their EFL Cup semi-final second-leg clash with Liverpool on Thursday.

Holding a one-goal advantage from the first leg, Tottenham Hotspur travel to Anfield to lock horns with Liverpool in the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final on Thursday night.

An injury-plagued Spurs side ended their miserable seven-game winless run in the Premier League by beating Brentford 2-0 away from home on Sunday to climb up to 14th in the table and 10 points clear of the bottom three.

Ange Postecoglou's side now need to avoid defeat in their next encounter with Liverpool if they wish to reach their first EFL Cup final in four years and keep their dreams of winning their first major trophy since 2008 alive.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Arne Slot's side.

Type of injury: Thigh
