Victor Wanyama made his English Premier League debut this season with seven minutes of action in Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday.
The Kenyan captain has struggled with injury since the start of the season after he picked a recurring knee problem against Barcelona during Spurs’ pre-season tour of the USA.
Wanyama came in as a second-half substitute for Mauricio Pochettino side, but even his late introduction could not help Spurs stop Liverpool from picking their fifth straight victory this season. The Reds have only managed such a record twice before Saturday’s victory at Wembley Stadium.
