Richarlison, Kane, Lucas - Tottenham injury news and return dates ahead of Man City clash

Tottenham completed two new signings in the January transfer window as they now prepare to face Manchester City at home this Sunday. Arnaut Danjuma and Pedro Porro have bolstered Antonio Conte's options along with the return of a few key players.

Since that game, Spurs have secured back-to-back wins with victories against Fulham and Preston in the FA Cup. Antonio Conte will likely have a very similar squad available to him for the clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, despite a recent problem for Harry Kane.

The 29-year-old was on the bench for the FA Cup match after suffering with illness throughout the week. Meanwhile, Lucas Moura stepped up his injury rehabilitation with fellow Brazilian Richarlison instead suffering a setback

Harry Kane

For the first time this season, Kane was named on the bench for Tottenham's FA Cup fourth round clash against Preston. The 29-year-old missed the victory after struggling with illness throughout the week.

What Cristian Stellini said: "We have only one problem, with Harry [Kane], because he played the last game full of illness. He didn’t train during the week, he trained this morning, but he wants to come with us and be available. We know very well that Harry wants to play every game, so we are happy that Harry is involved in the game, but the only situation we have to take care is this."

Return date: Available for Man City (H) Feb 5.

Richarlison

The early rounds of the FA Cup give teams the opportunity to rotate their squads and it was expected that Richarlison was going to be named in the starting XI on Saturday.

However, Conte opted to go for a front three of Son Heung-min, Ivan Perisic and Dejan Kulusevski with Richarlison missing out entirely.

What Cristian Stellini said: "He has a small problem in the last few days. We tried to recover him but it was not a good idea to recover him. We had just Harry Kane sick and so it was not a good idea to risk him. We will find Richarlison next week. No, no, no, it was a different injury. He recovered well, he has a small problem in his adductor but nothing special."

Return date: Unknown

Lucas Moura

Brazilian forward Lucas Moura has been out with a tendon issue that continues to plague him throughout the season, with it currently being unknown when he will return.

The club confirmed on Friday Lucas would feature in their Premier League 2 North London Derby against Arsenal. The Brazilian played 45 minutes and found the back of the net in the 2-1 win.

What Conte has said: "Lucas Moura, this is the only critical situation because it's very difficult to understand if he is going to come quickly or we have to wait a long time."

Return date: Unknown
