Tottenham confirm the two players to miss out on Leicester City clash

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the two players who are set to miss the weekend's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

The north London side return to Premier League action after a disappointing 2-2 draw against Olympiacos in the Champions League group stages on Wednesday.

The good news for Mauricio Pochettino is that he has no new injuries to contend with.

Serge Aurier and Danny Rose both missed the Olympiacos clash but are expected to be fit for Saturday.

Pochettino revealed that the duo missed the game as a result of his decision to rotate his squad, rather than missing out through injury.

The same was the case for Son Heung-min who was named as a substitute as a way of preserving him for the Premier League clash.

However two players who will not be fit for the game at the King Power Stadium are Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon.

Lo Celso returned early from international duty with Argentina after suffering a hip injury.

The midfielder is undertaking a course of on-field rehabilitation and could be out until the end of October.

As for Sessegnon it remains to be seen when he'll return.

The former Fulham man is struggling with a hamstring injury and while he's undergoing rehab as well, the club are monitoring him after reports of a setback in his recovery last week.
