West Ham United travel to north London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday.
The upcoming Premier League clash between Tottenham and West Ham is a vitally important one for both sides.
It has been claimed that numerous key Tottenham players could be back to full fitness in time for the game this week.
Meanwhile, Heung-min Son took to Instagram yesterday to declare that he will be back in action for Spurs soon.
Julen Lopetegui desperately needs a result on Saturday, and we are all desperate to see our team pick up all three points against our fiercest rivals in the Premier League.
After Tottenham were handed some good news regarding one of their injured players earlier this week, a new claim has now emerged to the contrary.
Terrible news for Tottenham ahead of vital West Ham clash
The only real injury concern that the Hammers have right now is Niclas Fullkrug.
Meanwhile, Spurs have numerous players who are doubtful for the big London derby this weekend.

However, Richarlison was expected to return for the West Ham clash. Now though, it appears as though that may well not be the case.
According to a new report from Football.London, the Brazil international is expected to return to training soon, but the Hammers clash will come too soon for him to make his return to action.
Not being able to call upon the former Everton striker will be a big blow for Spurs and Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham are heavily reliant on Dominic Solanke right now, and that’s a lot of pressure to put on the striker, taking his price-tag into consideration as well.
I have a sneaky feeling that this weekend’s clash could be a huge chance for the Hammers to turn over our old foes.
West Ham have a decent record away at Tottenham in recent years actually, having won three times at their place since 2017.
Hopefully we will make that four on Saturday, and with Richarlison out, we will have a good chance of doing just that.
