Ange Postecoglou hopes he will have Destiny Udogie and Timo Werner available for Sunday’s match against Liverpool.
Tottenham will hope to use the momentum gained from Thursday night’s 4-3 Carabao Cup quarter-final victory over Manchester United.
Werner missed that game due to illness, while left-back Udogie missed it after limping off during the 5-0 victory at Southampton last weekend.
Speaking on Friday morning, Postecoglou said: “Timo was unwell yesterday, Udogie was out before the game and we hope they will be okay.”
Asked to offer an update on Mikey Moore, who had come down with a virus, Postecoglou said: “No, no. he hasn’t been involved [in training]. We’ll need to get at least a couple of weeks’ training into Mikey.”
Udogie, if fit, could come back into the starting XI and replace Djed Spence, who earned his second-ever Tottenham start against United.
There could also be a recall for Brennan Johnson was appeared as a substitute on Thursday.
Tottenham predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Johnson, Kulusevski, Son; Solanke
Injured: Van de Ven, Vicario, Romero, Richarlison, Davies, Bentancur, Odobert
