Ange Postecoglou has said there is a chance Destiny Udogie could feature in Thursday's Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United.
The full-back was taken off 28 minutes into our 5-0 win over Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday evening after feeling some tightness in his quad muscle.
With the current injury situation in defence, our Head Coach told us it was a precautionary decision on the night and the latest update is that Destiny has avoided injury but still needs to be assessed before tomorrow evening given the short window between fixtures.
The Italy international has been an ever-present in the Premier League this term and has started both Carabao Cup fixtures to date.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of our last eight cup tie at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (kick-off 8pm UK), Ange said: "Destiny, no injury, but he's still a bit sore from the game. Not ruling him out but we'll see how he is with the turnaround."
Elsewhere, Yves Bissouma is back available for selection after serving his one-match suspension against the Saints last time out.
Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies, Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert and Richarlison remain ruled out through injury whilst Rodrigo Bentancur is unavailable through suspension.
