Ryan Sessegnon cleared to make Spurs debut vs Liverpool as Mauricio Pochettino gets injury boost

Mauricio Pochettino has virtually a fully fit squad to choose from ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's visit to Liverpool on Sunday.

The Lilywhites have been rather fortunate in terms of injuries this season, although they have been without three of their four summer signings in Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon at some stage.

The Frenchman missed games against Newcastle United and Arsenal because of an hamstring problem but has been an ever-present in the Premier League since.

Lo Celso made a couple of substitute appearances prior to picking up an injury during the first international break of the season.

However, the Argentine return to action in the 5-0 win over Red Star in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Of the three summer signings who stayed at the club, Ryan Sessegnon is yet to make his bow for Spurs and that's because of a niggling hamstring issue.

He arrived at the club nursing the injury sustained whilst on international duty with the England U21's in the summer and then suffered a setback upon taking part in a training session last month.

But the good news is that Sessegnon is fully fit and is contention to at least Mauricio Pochettino's matchday squad for the trip to Anfield.

In fact, an update via the club's official website states Hugo Lloris is the only injured first-team player at present.

"Hugo Lloris is the only injury absentee ahead of Sunday’s trip to Liverpool," a statement reads.

"Our goalkeeper and captain sustained a dislocated elbow in the defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on 5 October and is continuing with his rehabilitation.

"Kick-off at Anfield is at 4.30pm."

The injury update confirms Dele Alli, Jan Vertonghen and Son Heung-min are all fine after being substituted against Red Star.

Furthermore, Christian Eriksen was an unused substitute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium so he could earn a recall to the starting line-up at Anfield.
