Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou addresses Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso debuts against Liverpool | OneFootball

Tel and Danso are available to come straight into squad for Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Anfield

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed new signings Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso are available to make their Tottenham debuts against Liverpool at Anfield on Thursday.

Centre-back Danso signed in a £20.9million deal from Lens last week, while Tel joined on loan from Bayern Munich with an option to make the move permanent in the summer.

Danso is in the frame to start after Postecoglou confirmed Micky van de Ven has suffered a fresh injury and has been ruled out of the trip to Anfield, with Spurs 1-0 up from the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final.

Spurs have just lost Radu Dragusin to a serious knee injury and are still without Cristian Romero.

Tel, who can play anywhere across the front three, has boosted the attacking options available to Spurs.

Postecoglou said: “Kevin and Mathys are both available. They have trained and are cleared to play so they are all good.”

Asked whether Danso will start, Postecoglou said: “He will play. Whether he starts or not we will take a look because we have another game three days later and that has been our existence for quite a while now.

“You are right, Ben (Davies), Archie, Pedro (Porro) has played every minute of football we have had for the last three months, but the boys are handling it okay and the performances are still stacking up.

“It’s great to get Kevin in. He is ready to play. Whether he starts or he comes on we will make a decision. It’s really important he is part of it now because losing Radu was a massive blow so having him available is good.”
