Tottenham will hope to have Son Heung-min available once again when they return to Premier League action against West Ham United this weekend.
Son has missed his side’s last three games after limping off with a hamstring injury in the Europa League victory over Qarabag.
After sitting out of games against Manchester United, Ferencvaros and Brighton, he also missed South Korea’s World Cup qualifying clashes against Jordan and Iraq.
Ange Postecoglou will provide update on the 32-year-old this week with hope he can return to the squad.
Richarlison meanwhile has not featured since the second game of the season with his manager urging reporters ‘to stop asking me about him’ in late September, admitting the Brazilian was still a ‘fair bit off’.
Elsewhere, Wilson Odobert is recovering well from a hamstring injury he suffered in the Carabao Cup against Coventry although this weekend may come too soon for the former Burnley winger.
Lucas Bergvall meanwhile returned to north London ahead of schedule after suffering a ‘minor injury’; that ruled him out of Sweden’s game against Estonia. He will be assessed ahead of Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.
West Ham United meanwhile have a relatively clean bill of health ahead of the London derby.
Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug has failed to get going in east London with an achilles problem also hampering his start to life at the Hammers, having not played since August.
Speaking before the game against Ipswich Town, Julen Lopetegui was hopeful he would be in contention again following the international break. The Spaniard is expected to provide a further update on the striker later this week.
