Ryan Mason will make late decisions on the fitness of Hugo Lloris, Ben Davies and Clement Lenglet ahead of Thursday night’s Premier League clash against Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (8.15pm).
Goalkeeper and skipper Hugo was forced off at half-time of Sunday’s loss at Newcastle United with a hip muscle issue. Clement (foot) also departed early from the match before against AFC Bournemouth while Ben has been out for five weeks now after picking up a hamstring injury at Southampton on 18 March. Both were on the bench at St James’ Park, both remained unused.
Speaking to SPURSPLAY ahead of training on Wednesday afternoon, Acting Head Coach Ryan told us: “We have our last training session this afternoon before the game tomorrow, so we’ll reassess all of them and understand if they’re okay and fit enough to play.
“Ben has come off the back of quite a long muscle injury and Clem, there is a problem with his foot and he had to come off in a recent game, so we’ll see how they all react after training today.”
Lucas Moura is available after suspension but longer-term casualties Rodrigo Bentancur (knee), Yves Bissouma (ankle), Emerson Royal (knee) and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) remain sidelined.
