What is the team news?

Speaking to SPURSPLAY after training on Friday, Antonio explained: “After the game against Milan, we have Emerson – he didn’t train today. We’ll check him tomorrow. He had a kick and tomorrow, we’ll see if he’s available and can be on the bench. Another is Perisic. Today, he did have a training session, but we need the players to be 100 per cent. For this reason, tomorrow, I will ask him if he’s also okay to be on the bench.”

Hugo Lloris (knee), Yves Bissouma (ankle), Rodrigo Bentancur (knee) and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) remain out.

As for Forest, Moussa Niakhate and Cheikhou Kouyate are nearing returns from injury.
