Tottenham Hotspur set for their Premier League match day 17 clash on Boxing day. Antonio Conte will be hoping to have his key players available against Brentford
Hugo Lloris, Harry Kane, Ivan Perisic, and Cristian Romero are all competing for a spot in the team at Brentford on Boxing Day, with Romero, the defending champion of Argentina, being the most questioned player.
Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur will both have to wait longer to return from the World Cup.
Meanwhile, a virus that afflicted Oliver Skipp, Djed Spence, and Heung-min Son is still affecting the Spurs. Ben Davies, who had been injured, was also back in action against Nice when the Korean returned to action.
Richarlison Brazil's quarterfinal loss to Croatia resulted in Richarlison suffering a hamstring injury.
The striker went back to Hotspur Way last week and had a scan that said he would be out at least three weeks, so he should be back against Fulham on January 23 at the earliest.
Rodrigo Bentancur Bentancur will miss the Boxing Day match due to a thigh injury he sustained at the World Cup.
Conte, the manager of Tottenham, has reiterated his hope that the Uruguayan will play again against Aston Villa on New Year's Day.
Hugo Lloris
Spikes intend to carry Lloris to Brentford however a beginning spot has been precluded.
Conte has confirmed that the French captain will "come with us to stay on the bench."
He ought to be able to start the game against Villa.
Oliver Skipp Prior to the Nice friendly, Skipp was killed by the stomach virus that struck the Spurs team.
Since Conte had expressed optimism regarding the midfielder's fitness for Wednesday, it seems likely that he will be included in the squad to face Brentford.
Djed Spence, like Skipp, contracted the virus and was unable to play Nice to a draw.
The wingback was described in the same way as Son, who played off the bench and is likely to be fit for Boxing Day.
After the World Cup third-place play-off, Croatian winger Ivan Perisic is back in training, and his participation in the match against Brentford appears promising.
