Lucas Moura has added to Tottenham’s injury problems by revealing he is having to play through the pain barrier.
Tottenham forward Moura, 30, has endured a difficult start to the season and is nursing a tendon problem in his heel which has affected his form and limited his appearances. That is another worry for Spurs boss Antonio Conte who is facing major issues with his forward line with Heung-Min Son, Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski all on the casualty list.
South Korea star Son is a major doubt for the World Cup as he needs surgery on a fracture near his left eye while Richarlison and Kulusevski have also been missing but are closing in on returns. But it could still mean Harry Kane is potentially Tottenham’s only fully fit striker ahead of Sunday’s clash with Liverpool and Moura admits the hectic schedule plus high level games in the Champions League and Premier League must have an effect.
