Injuries beginning to take their toll on players

As another Saturday passes, another round of fixtures nears on completion. However, players are now beginning to feel the effect of having played, potentially, 8 games since the season started a month ago.

Tottenham are the hardest hit so far, I believe, with Gomes, Dawson and Defoe all definite long term absentees with Modric on the brink of joining the list that can also accommodate King and Woodgate.
