Expected return: Norwich (A) - 22/05
Cristian Romero

Romero missed the wins against Arsenal and Burnley, with Davinson Sanchez replacing him in the defence.
Expected return: Norwich (A) - 22/05
Sergio Reguilon
Reguilon played the full 90 minutes during last month's 1-0 defeat at home to Brighton, but has been missing from Spurs' last five matchday squads after picking up a groin injury. The Spanish left-back is unlikely to feature again this season.

Doherty was beginning to establish himself in Conte’s side, before sustaining a knee injury during last month’s 4-0 win at Aston Villa. The 30-year-old was taken off at Villa Park after 20 minutes following a challenge with Matty Cash, and scans later revealed that Doherty had ruptured his medial collateral ligament which ruled him out for the rest of the season.
Expected return: Summer 2022
Oliver Skipp
Skipp hasn’t played for Spurs since January due to an ongoing problem related to his pubic symphysis. Conte had been hopeful that he would be able to call upon the highly-rated 21-year-old before the end of the season, but Skipp will not return to action this season after undergoing surgery.
What the club said: "We can confirm that Oliver Skipp has undergone surgery in America this morning (Tuesday 26 April) to repair a pubis injury and will be out for the remainder of the season. The Academy graduate, 21, will now undergo a period of recovery and is expected to return to training for the pre-season period."
Expected return: Summer 2022
