Antonin Kinsky has the chance to stake his claim as Tottenham Hotspur’s starting goalkeeper due to Guglielmo Vicario’s ankle injury that will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Tottenham beat Newcastle to sign Kinsky as well as Brighton, Brentford and Celtic, wꦅhich goes to show how highly-rated tꦐhe now-former Slavia Prague shotstopper is.

Ange Postecoglou convinced Kinsky to sign for Spurs, who is one of Europe’s best up-and-coming goalkeepers. Tottenham’s plan in the January window is to add more names after having signed the 21-year-🌃old.

Kinsky wished to face Liverpool in the first leg of the ꦏCarabao Cup semi-final on Wedn🍌esday.

However, an update has emerged about whether Tottenham’s new-boy could start against Arne Slot’s side.

Antonin Kinsky starting for Tottenham vs Liverpool is “unlikely”

Fraser Forster was appalling in Spurs’ 4-3 victory agไainst Manchester United in the quarter-final, gifting Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo their goals while letting Jonny Evans’ header fly through his hands.

Brando▨n Austin could prove to be a quality🐠 option in net, based on how well he played in the Lilywhites’ 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United.

Journalist Tom Barclay has revealed that it is “unlikely” that Antonin Kinsky even features against Liverpool as he is yet to receive his work permit, which can 🥃take up to 48 hours to be issued.

Now that Kinsky seems likely not to play against Liverpool, Ange Postecoglou has a big decision on his💛 hands in between the sticks.

However, ওbased on how Austin faredᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ against Newcastle, perhaps the Englishman’s display makes the Australian’s decision a fairly easy one.

Considering the game is at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadiuܫm, it is a musꦉt-win for Spurs.

With Liverpool reeling from their 2-2 draw against Manchest𒁃er United, they will likely come out all guns blazing, which would demand Tottenham’s goalkeeper to have a stor🍸mer of a game on the day.
