Postecolou continues to be without a number of his key players with James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, Ivan Perisic, Ryan Sessegnon and Manor Solomon all still not ready to return, however, the Australian is boosted by the availability of Cristian Romero after the defender served his three-match ban following his dismissal against Chelsea.

Such is the protocol, the media are informed of the availability of the Spurs squad ahead of the clash against David Moyes’ side.

Postecoglou told Tottenham’s official X channel that Pape Matar Sarr will likely be unavailable for the West Ham game, but should be back in time for Sunday’s fixture against Newcastle.

He said: “Probably tomorrow might be a bit too quick for him [Pape Matar Sarr] but certainly should be available for Sunday.”

Apart from the other long-term injuries, everyone else got through the Man City game okay, while Richarlison could be ready for a few more minutes.
