Tottenham star Brennan Johnson expected to miss Liverpool clash
Spurs’ summer acquisition According to Football.London, Brennan Johnson will miss Saturday’s Premier League match against Liverpool after suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday’s draw with Arsenal.
As he hobbled off the field in the second half of the north London derby, Johnson complained of a hamstring injury. He transferred from Nottingham Forest to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in the summer in a six-year, about £45 million agreement.
According to the article, the 22-year-old will get scans this week to find out how serious the damage is. Johnson might miss up to six weeks of play if the injury is significant.
Even a minor hamstring strain would prevent the attacker from playing for at least 1-2 weeks, according to Football.London, which would be a big setback for Tottenham.
Johnson will therefore likely miss Saturday’s crucial match between Tottenham and Liverpool in North London. Additionally, he might not make the trip to Luton Town on October 7. When Spurs host Fulham following the upcoming international break, they will expect to have the young player available once more.
Ange Postecoglou, the manager of the team that faced Arsenal, said during the game that Johnson had sustained a hamstring injury and would be evaluated, but he downplayed Maddison’s injury issue.
“Clearly, it appears that Johnson felt something. We will evaluate that, Postecoglou stated, according to the Evening Standard.
“Madders and Sonny went into it and they weren’t 100%, but they made it through it, which suggests to me that it is nothing serious,” Sonny said.
Issues
The Wales international has played six times for Tottenham so far this season, but he is still without a goal or an assist. He is anticipated to play a significant part for Postecoglou’s team this season as they aim to qualify for the Champions League.
James Maddison was also forced off with an injury at the Emirates after a challenge with Jorginho, adding to Tottenham’s recent injury woes. Additionally injured during the game, Richarlison took the place of Son Heung-min.
Maddison has had a bright start to his Tottenham career, combining twice in the dramatic draw against the Gunners with Son to forge a lethal connection.
The offensive midfielder from England has made seven appearances for Spurs in all competitions, contributing four assists along with two goals.
It’s a big game in North London this weekend because Tottenham are presently fourth in the league standings with 14 points, four points behind leaders Man City and two points behind second-place Liverpool.

Dembele only moved to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in the summer in a £50 million transfer, but he has had trouble adjusting. The French international has made six appearances thus far, but he has yet to score or provide an assist, prompting cries from supporters for his removal.
The 26-year-old has struggled for the Parisians, who lost their first league match last weekend. He is up against tough competition for starting roles because PSG also spent much on the summer acquisitions of Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani. The club recently welcomed Kang In Lee, Bradley Barcola, and Marco Asensio, so Dembele is under pressure to start playing.
Despite his recent struggles, manager Luis Enrique is optimistic that the World Cup winner will soon begin scoring for PSG.
The former Barcelona manager was cited in the Daily Mirror as saying in the middle of the week, “If I were a supporter of a team, I would pay to see Ousmane Dembele.”
He is a whole new player. He works magic, is erratic, and overflows.Although he could have made mistakes and failed to score his first goal, I’m confident he will score many more goals after that. It goes like this for every attacker. The availability of a player of this caliber and ability is excellent for a coach.
