Tottenham Hotspur will assess the conditions of four players ahead of Thursday's Premier League clash with London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
While Radu Dragusin is ruled out with a season-ending ACL injury, midfielder Lucas Bergvall should be fit to return after withdrawing from the Sweden squad during the international break due to illness.
Ange Postecoglou could also be boosted by the return of Dejan Kulusevski (foot), Kevin Danso (hamstring) and Richarlison (calf), who are all currently injury doubts and a late call is set to be made on their availability.
Should Danso not be fit to start, Cristian Romero could link arms with Micky van de Ven at centre-back, while Postecoglou will weigh up whether to start in-form Djed Spence ahead of either Pedro Porro or Destiny Udogie at right-back or left-back respectively.
Bergvall, Pape Matar Sarr and James Maddison will all be pushing to start in midfield ahead of either Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur or Archie Gray after beginning as substitutes in Spurs' disappointing 2-0 loss at Fulham before the international break.
Captain Son Heung-min has, to the surprise of some, been benched for the last three Premier League games, but the South Korean could be recalled to start on the left flank at the expense of Mathys Tel.
Brennan Johnson will hope to get the nod ahead of Wilson Odobert to continue on the right, unless Kulusevski is deemed fit to start, while Dominic Solanke is set to lead the line.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son
