Ange Postecoglou admits it will be a case of late fitness tests for our two left-sided full-backs ahead of Monday's clash with Chelsea.
Speaking to SPURSPLAY earlier today, our Head Coach was asked about the fitness of Destiny Udogie, who missed Friday night's win at Crystal Palace and he explained that the defender's situation had been improving this week, but whether he will be available for selection against the Blues will be decided closer to the time.
Ben Davies replaced Destiny in the line-up for the 2-1 win at Selhurst Park, but there has been frustrating news for the Welshman as he picked up a knock in south London which has in turn made him a doubt for our third London derby on the spin.
"We'll see how Destiny progresses," Ange said. "Obviously he's still got a few days before the Monday game. He's progressing through it but we'll assess him closer to it.
"Everyone else is okay. Ben Davies has got a bit of a knock so he hasn't trained with the team yet so (he's) unlikely for Monday but, again, we've still got a couple of days to go."
