Tottenham assistant head-coach Cristian Stellini has given an injury update on the likes of Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski ahead of the club's Carabao Cup tie against Nottingham Forest.
Spurs head into the clash against Steve Cooper's side following their 2-1 defeat against Liverpool at the weekend, with just one Premier League fixture remaining before the season is paused for the World Cup.
And manager Antonio Conte has a number of choices to make on who will be in the starting line up, with the clash against Leeds at the weekend looming large and Spurs hoping to consolidate their place in the top four before the World Cup campaign kicks off.

There have been injury questions over a number of players such as Kulusevski, who made his return against Liverpool at the weekend and wasted no time in setting up Harry Kane for a goal. However, whether he would be ready to start the match at the City Ground is another matter.
"Richarlison is back in training," Stellini told reporters. "He's an available player but thinking he only has had two days training.
"We lose [Kulusevski] from the last international break. We can't say that he can play 90 minutes because it's a long time injury. We have to be careful with him."
Harry Kane has started every one of Spurs' Premier League and Champions League clashes so far, and the clash against Forest is perhaps the first occasion this season where he could feasibly be rested by Conte.
However, Stellini says it is a decision the manager will make on the day of the game, with not enough time passing after the Liverpool defeat to reach a verdict on the fitness of those set to be involved.
"About tomorrow, the decision Antonio will take tomorrow," Stellini added. "It's too short to analyse what type of energy the players will have for tomorrow's game. He will speak tomorrow to all of the players to see who is ready. It's an important game."
