Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he will be without central midfielders Ryan Mason, Nabil Bentaleb and Mousa Dembele for Wednesday's League Cup clash with Arsenal.
Mason picked up a knee injury against Sunderland earlier this month, while Bentaleb and Dembele are still out of action with ankle and knee problems respectively.
Pochettino, however, has said that while the trio will miss this week's third-round cup match, all three are close to returning to first-team action.
"The team news is the same as the last game. Mason, Bentaleb and Mousa are still out but they are close to being back in the team," Pochettino told Sky Sports News.
Tottenham will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at the weekend.
