Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho admits he is struggling with the right-back position.

Japhet Tanganga (back) and Juan Foyth (knee) could be sidelined for the rest of the season, leaving Serge Aurier as Mourinho's only natural right-back.

Speaking ahead of Thursday's clash against Sheffield United, Mourinho said: "The right-back position is not available so I'd yes it's where are a little bit more in trouble.

"In training we did sometimes [Oliver] Skipp, we did sometimes Gedson [Fernandes]. We know we can also do Toby [Alderweireld] because a few years ago he used to do that sometimes with Atletico Madrid, and Southampton I think he did sometimes a couple of times.

"So in emergency situations here we go. Even Moussa Sissoko did it already too. So yes it's the position we don't have a second body."
