Report: Three Tottenham attackers now doubtful to face Galatasaray with 'wonderful' teenager set to get call-up

Tottenham face a crunch Europa League tie with Galatasaray this week and could now turn to one youngster as they face a nightmare injury crisis.

Spurs saw off Aston Villa at the weekend with ease but it came at a cost as Ange Postecoglou saw a number of his players injured.

Postecoglou withdrew Heung-Min Son early in the second half to manage his comeback but then saw his replacement, Richarlison, go down injured.

To add further woe, there are now fears that Cristian Romero could have broken a bone and may face an extended spell on the side lines.

However, it’s not just in defence where Tottenham have issues and ahead of Galatasaray, Spurs could be forced to turn to a youngster in attack due to more injury problems.

Tottenham to turn to Mikey Moore as key trio could miss Galatasaray

According to a report from GiveMeSport, Tottenham are facing a mini crisis in the attacking third for the big game with the Turkish giants.

It’s claimed that Richarlison is set to miss out completely, while there are also doubts over whether both Timo Werner and Heung-Min Son will feature due to their own injuries.

That leaves Tottenham needing to call up young winger Mikey Moore, who has impressed in the cameo appearances he has made thus far.

However, going into the cauldron that is Galatasaray, Ange Postecoglou is likely to have wanted his more experienced players to take to the field.

Mikey Moore could shine in Turkish atmosphere

It’s well known that the top Turkish teams make it difficult on home soil and this will be no different for Tottenham.

A Europa League clash with an English giant is big news for Gala and the idea of thrusting a youngster like Mikey Moore into things seems a bold call.

However, Moore impressed the Dutch media on his last European outing on foreign soil and he’ll be confident of doing so again.

The Dutch media lauded him as a ‘wonderful’ dribbler in that game and on balance, this sort of fixture might end up being the making of him.
