Tottenham are still battling a lengthy injury list to compound the absence of captain Heung-min Son.
The Spurs skipper will miss out on club duty for the next several weeks as he leads South Korea at the delayed Asian Cup that starts in Qatar this week, with Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr - who has shaken off a hamstring problem - also now away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
