Postecoglou on Kinsky, Bentancur's return and Son's contract

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has been speaking to the media before Wedensday's EFL Cup game against Liverpool (kick-off 20:00).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Postecoglou confirmed that goalkeeper signing Antonin Kinsky is available to play, adding: "He is one that we had earmarked for the summer to bring in but we have had injuries. I've got a decision to make [on Wednesday]."

• He praised the new signing's personality, adding: "We're trying to build a team of people who are ambitious and have a clear goal in their heads for their career. From talking to him and looking into his background, he certainly seems to fit that mould."

• Postecoglou didn't rule out another signing being made this month: "We're still trying to help the squad and players. We still have roughly 10 first-team players missing. That's not easy so we need to still try to help the playing group."

• He provided a fitness update ahead of Wednesday's match: "I still think we're down [on players]. Bentancur is back but we lose Maddison and Sarr to suspension."

• Elsewhere in the squad, he added: "Mikey [Moore] potentially could be available on the bench. Richarlison is training but we want him to have two solid weeks of training so if he gets through next week he will be fine. Fraser [Forster] is back in training."

• On club captain Son Heung-min's new contract: "The main ambition is to make sure he finishes his career here with some silverware."
