Dejan Kulusevski and Yves Bissouma hand Tottenham huge boost ahead of Arsenal north London derby

Tottenham have been handed a huge injury boost ahead of Sunday's north London derby against Arsenal with Dejan Kulusevski and Yves Bissouma spotted on the training pitch at Hotspur Way. The Sweden international has not played for Spurs since the Boxing Day draw at Brentford due to a small muscle injury, with the latter pulling out of Saturday's FA Cup win over Portsmouth ten minutes before kick-off because of a minor knock sustained in the warm-up.

Ideally needing all of his squad available to face the table toppers, footage from Sky Sports has shown Bissouma training with the rest of the squad again after missing out at the weekend. Kulusevski, on the other hand, could be seen working away from the group with two Tottenham coaches as he went through some running exercises.

However, there appeared to be no sign of either Rodrigo Bentancur or Richarlison as they step up their fitness after their injuries at the World Cup. Tottenham assistant head coach Cristian Stellini was asked about Bissouma's fitness after the FA Cup win over Portsmouth and he outlined why the midfielder had to withdraw from the squad late on.
