Ange Postecoglou has confirmed Pedro Porro and Richarlison are both fit and available for Sunday’s north London derby against Arsenal.
Porro limped off in Tottenham’s 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United on 13 April with a hamstring problem.
The Spaniard has started all but four of his side’s Premier League games this term and is expected to make the starting XI as Spurs attempt to halt Arsenal’s title challenge this weekend.
Richarlison meanwhile has not featured since the draw at West Ham at the start of the month but having had two weeks to work on his fitness since his side’s last game, he will also be ready for the visit of Mikel Arteta’s side.
‘Pedro and Richy both trained all week so are both available,’ Postecoglou told a press conference on Friday.
Spurs will be without Destiny Udogie for the rest of the season with the Italy international undergoing surgery on his quadriceps.
Oliver Skipp meanwhile will miss the derby after picking up a knock in training.
‘It’s disappointing for Destiny and ourselves, he has been a big part of a year. It was an unfortunate incident in training but has had the operation and it has gone well. We’ll miss him.
‘Skippy picked up a small knock in training as well so we will miss him this weekend as well.’
Arsenal head into the derby top of the Premier League having played a game more than Manchester City, a point behind them in second place.
Spurs meanwhile have two games in hand on fourth place Aston Villa as they fight to secure Champions League qualification.
