Guglielmo Vicario is set to be back in goal for Tottenham against Manchester United after more than two months out with a fractured foot.
Vicario has returned to training and the Italian is expected to come straight in at the expense of Antonin Kinsky.
Destiny Udogie and James Maddison are also available again as the injury situation at Spurs eases, but they are likely to be on the bench.
Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner and Wilson Odobert are also training but may not be ready to return.
Postecoglou has decisions to make at centre-back and in midfield, with Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray all competing for three positions in the middle of the park for Tottenham.
Gray could also play at the back, although January signing Kevin Danso and Ben Davies seem more likely to get the nod there.
Dejan Kulusevski could also start at No8 or on the right wing, with Postecoglou also needing to decide which of Heung-min Son and Mathys Tel lead the line.
Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Cristian Romero (thigh), Dominic Solanke (knee), Richarlison (calf) and Radu Dragusin (knee) are all still sidelined.
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Danso, Davies, Spence; Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall; Kulusevski, Son, Tel
Doubts: Johnson, Werner, Odobert
Injured: Van de Ven, Romero, Dragusin, Richarlison, Solanke
Time and date: 4:30pm GMT on Sunday February 16, 2025
