Tottenham could have Dominic Solanke available for today’s Premier League trip to Bournemouth.
Solanke was not involved in Sunday’s draw with Fulham due to illness, having been sent home on the morning of the match, but Ange Postecoglou confirmed the striker was set to train on Wednesday.
“Everyone from the weekend got through OK, Archie [Gray] got a knock but he’s recovered well,” he said.
“Dom’s due to train today, he’s still not 100 per cent but he’s definitely improved from the weekend. The other injured guys are inching closer but still not available.”
Cristian Romero has not played since before the international break due to a toe issue and will not play on the south coast, albeit there is hope he will return to training later this week.
“Romero’s due to have his last couple of sessions with the rehab guys today and tomorrow, so we’re kind of hoping he’ll be back in team training by Friday or the very latest early next week if everything goes well,” added the Spurs boss.
Spurs could opt to be cautious with Romero’s fitness, particularly with Chelsea visiting on Sunday for a crucial London derby.
Micky van de Ven is expected to miss out again, meaning Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies are set to continue as the centre-back partnership.
If Postecoglou does have one eye on the Chelsea match this weekend, Djed Spence could be one of those to come into the side, with Pedro Porro handed a rest.
