Sean Dyche was quizzed about who could start at right-back for Everton against Tottenham Hotspur with four players who have played in that position ruled out
Everton will head to Tottenham Hotspur amid a crisis in defence. Ashley Young will be suspended for the trip to London on Saturday following his straight red card in the disastrous opening day defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion. It means fifth-choice centre-back Mason Holgate may now fill the role next the weekend - unless Sean Dyche opts for a tactical reshuffle.
Asked whether he was favourite to operate there at Spurs, the manager acknowledged Holgate’s introduction late in this defeat was with that in mind. Dyche said: “Yeah, the squad is what it is. We have added to it and tried to find a balance but have been a bit unfortunate with injuries. “None of them, apart from Youssef , are drastic but they are all two or three weeks and that can cost you at this early stage when you’ve got the games coming and have just finished pre-season.
