Austin made his long-awaited Spurs debut in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Newcastle but Kinsky, 21, has been signed to compete to be Spurs' No1 long-term and trained with his new teammates on Monday and Tuesday. Fraser Forster, 36, returned to training on Tuesday but has been struggling with illness.

Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that new signing Antonin Kinsky is both eligible and available for Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg clash with Liverpool.

While more prestigious trophies like the Premier League and Champions League require more lengthy journeys, Liverpool have found themselves three matches from a first potential title of the season as they meet Tottenham in the first leg of their EFL Cup semifinal tie.

The numbers are stacking up for Ange Postecoglou, who has a plethora of possible absentees heading into the first leg on Wednesday night against an in-form Liverpool side.
