Marco Bizot’s back injury is not expected to be serious, according to Unai Emery, after the goalkeeper came off against Coventry City.
Bizot was replaced by Zion Suzuki at half-time during Aston Villa’s 3-1 Carabao Cup victory on Wednesday.
Emery offered an encouraging initial assessment afterwards, although his comments did not confirm whether Bizot would be available against Tottenham.
