Tottenham Hotspur have been handed an injury scare with Rodrigo Bentancur ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Leeds United at Elland Road.
The Uruguayan midfielder fell awkwardly onto the Turf Moor turf in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Burnley and was brought off at half time, with Antonio Conte since confirming that he will miss this game.
Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga remain out through groin and knee injuries respectively, while Pierluigi Gollini is recovering from illness but was never likely to displace Hugo Lloris in goal.
Cristian Romero did not enjoy his finest moment in a Spurs shirt as Ben Mee beat him to a header for Burnley's only goal in midweek, but the Argentine should continue alongside Eric Dier and Ben Davies nonetheless.
There ought to be some changes out wide, though, with Sergio Reguilon back from COVID-19 infection and ready to displace Ryan Sessegnon, despite Conte singing his praises.
Dejan Kulusevski could also be utilised in a wing-back role in place of Emerson Royal, as Harry Winks prepares to deputise for Bentancur in the middle alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg if necessary.
Lucas Moura would rejoin the attack if that is the case, as Harry Kane and Son Heung-min aim to regain some confidence against the worst defence in the Premier League.
Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Kulusevski, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Lucas, Kane, Son
