Spurs have Cristian Stellini in charge as interim manager following the departure of Antonio Conte. And the new Tottenham boss will have to deal with some injury concerns.
Former Everton striker Richarlison is still set to be sidelined after suffering an injury during Tottenham’s 3-3 draw with Southampton before the international break. Stellini said in his press conference on Friday that the Brazilian still has a “problem” with his fitness.
Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has returned to training after being out since February with a knee injury. Stellini says the France international has been back in team training, meaning he could be fit to feature against the Blues.
There are fitness concerns over Ben Davies and Ryan Sessegnon, with both players “pushing” to recover but are unlikely to feature against Everton. Long-term absentees Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur are still unavailable, with the latter ruled out for the rest of the season.
Emerson Royal is also ruled out for the clash against Tottenham after picking up a knee injury. The full-back will need surgery and is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Predicted Tottenham line-up vs Everton: Lloris; Porro, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Perisic; Hojbjerg, Skipp; Son, Kulusevski, Kane.
