Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are both available for selection for Thursday night's Europa League clash with AZ Alkmaar.
Richy, who marked his return from injury by playing the final nine minutes plus injury time in Saturday's 4-1 win over West Ham United, came through those minutes well and has continued to train this week so will be in contention to earn more minutes for the first time in Europe for us this season.
Wilson meanwhile, who has been out of action since picking up a hamstring injury in our Carabao Cup third round win over Coventry City last month, has returned to training and will also be available for the clash with the Dutch outfit.
However, in confirming the availability of the duo in his pre-match press conference, Ange Postecoglou admitted we will have to be cautious with Wilson and ease him back into action after his lengthy lay-off.
"Richy got through the weekend really well," Ange explained on Richarlison. "He's trained, this is almost the second week of training now, so he's ready to go in terms of being available, for sure.
On Wilson, Ange remarked, "Yes. Potentially. Again, we've got to be a bit more careful with him because he's missed a lot (of football). He's only had this week of training. He'll be involved tomorrow, in the squad. Game-time will be game-dependent with him, but it's good to get him back and after this week he should be fully available."
