Tottenham are set to have Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke fit for Sunday’s north London derby with Arsenal after they missed the defeat at Newcastle before the international break.
A late call will be made on Yves Bissouma after he sustained an issue while away with Mali on national team duty.
‘Micky’s good, he’s trained all the way through the international break and it was good for him to stay with us to build him back up so he’s ready to go,’ Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou told the official club website.
‘Dom’s improved as well and trained the back half of this week. We still have two days to go with those guys so hopefully they get through training OK and are available.’
On Bissouma, Postecoglou revealed: ‘He’s got a bit of an issue, but we’ll have a look at him over the next couple of days and see how it settles.’
Arsenal, by contrast, have several fitness concerns ahead of a tough trip to the home of their fiercest rivals.
Summer signing Mikel Merino sustained a serious shoulder injury during his first training session with his new club which will rule him out until late October at least.
Declan Rice, meanwhile, was controversially sent off against Brighton a fortnight ago and will serve a one-game suspension as a result against Spurs.
Arteta’s options looked likely to be further restricted following the setbacks sustained by Odegaard and Calafiori on international duty.
The Arsenal boss will,however, be hoping that Gabriel Jesus has recovered from a groin injury, while deadline day loan signing Raheem Sterling is eligible to make his debut.
