The loss of Harry Kane, who is suffering from a thigh muscle rupture, will put Mourinho on edge with a lack of center forwards in the squad. The same applies to winger Hueng-Min Son who suffers a fractured arm remains a doubt for the rest of the season.
Midfielder Moussa Sissoko underwent knee surgery and is yet to return to field training. The absence of Sissoko has seen Lo Celso earn game time under Mourinho. Winger Bergwijn is also an attacking option left for Mourinho.
