Spurs manager, Mauricio Pochettino, could be without as many as seven first team regulars for Saturday’s evening kick-off at White Hart Lane.

Christian Eriksen is the latest worry for the Argentine as he joined Vincent Janssen and Belgium’s Moussa Dembele in picking up knocks while on international duty.

All three could yet recover in time to feature, but the prognosis is less positive for Dele Alli who is expected to be out for a few weeks.

Erik Lamela and Toby Alderweireld also have a race to be fit in time for the Premier League match as they recovery from respective hip and knee complaints.

Ben Davies faces an extended period on the sidelines after injuring his ankle during the 1-0 Champions league defeat to Bayer Leverkusen earlier this month.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane was released from the England squad ahead of their friendly with Spain in order to build on his fitness after returning from injury against Arsenal.
