Tottenham: Pape Matar Sarr could miss Arsenal clash?

Senegalese midfielder Pape Matar Sarr was forced to leave the pitch in the second half of Senegal’s match against Brazil due to injury. Tottenham will have to wait to find out if he’ll be fit for the North London Derby against Arsenal.

Sarr has been a regular starter in the Premier League this season, but his absence would leave a gap in the midfield. Coach Thomas Frank could opt to partner Rodrigo Bentancur with João Palhinha to fill the void.

In friendly international action in London, Brazil beat Senegal 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium. Pape Matar Sarr started for Senegal but had to be substituted four minutes into the second period, while Richarlison remained on the bench for Brazil. #COYS #THFC

Senegal coach Pape Thiaw has provided reassurance, stating that the injury is not serious, but Tottenham must prepare to play without Sarr or with a player not yet back to full fitness.

🎙️Pape Thiaw sur la sortie de Pape Matar Sarr : « Il a simplement reçu un coup et, ne se sentant pas bien, il a préféré sortir par précaution. C’est mieux ainsi, surtout que nous avons un effectif solide. Espérons que ce ne soit pas grave. » #Dsports |
