Spurs team news vs Charlton
The injury concerns remain for Spurs with a few of their players still sidelined. Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro missed out last weekend but will return to the bench against Charlton.
A return for Mohammed Kudus is not too far away, according to Roberto De Zerbi, but the Charlton game comes too soon for the wide forward. James Maddison also misses out with a shoulder injury.
Meanwhile, the usual suspects remain out, with Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, and Dejan Kulusevski all managing long-term injuries.
Charlton, on the other hand, have just one concern with Timothy Noor Ouma a doubt for the clash against Tottenham.
A domestic cup run is key for Spurs this season
Securing a victory here is absolutely vital for Roberto De Zerbi’s side, especially after the humiliating defeat at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Spurs are at home, and many fans will be expecting to see a much-improved performance on Wednesday night at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
While being competitive in the Premier League is key this season, managing a strong cup run is equally important for Tottenham – making the game against Charlton a must-win.
