Ange Postecoglou faces a number of big Tottenham team selection decisions for this weekend's Premier League clash away at Fulham. Spurs won their biggest game of the season thus far on Thursday evening when they knocked AZ Alkmaar out of the Europa League last-16 courtesy of a 3-2 aggregate victory.
Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven were both named in a starting XI for the first time in nearly five months with Spurs looking much stronger as a result. Wilson Odobert was the hero on the night as he netted a brace while James Maddison was also on target.
With the Lilywhites lingering thirteenth in the Premier League table, Europe appears to be Ange Postecoglou's priority which could see some big changes made for the clash at Craven Cottage on Sunday. More returns are unlikely however, with football.london taking a look at the latest Tottenham injury news.
Micky van de Ven
Van de Ven played the first 60 minutes of Tottenham's Europa League last-16 second leg win over AZ Alkmaar with Postecoglou later explaining the plan for how he will be managed going forward.
What Postecoglou has said: "It will depend on how he is tracking and how he feels and how we feel he is progressing. Last night was probably, the last time he played against Elfsborg was 45 (minutes), the first significant minutes he has had in God knows how many months.
"We have just got to be mindful of that. He felt good last night. We were always going to give him 60 and bring him off. He got through that. We have got a bit of a break now until our next game which gives us a chance to work with him again in training and build up his fitness and hopefully increase his match minutes as we move along."
Possible return date: Returned
Dejan Kulusevski
Injury: Foot
Kulusevski was left out of the squad that travelled to the Netherlands for a Europa League last-16 first leg clash against AZ Alkmaar. He had been spotted in a brace just a few days before it was confirmed he was dealing with an injury.
What Postecoglou has said: "He's got a knock on the foot, [and] it's got a bit sore in the last couple of weeks. He's been able to train and play, but it wasn’t getting better. He's unlikely to be back before the international break."
Possible return date: Chelsea (A) - Thursday, April 3
Kevin Danso
Injury: Hamstring
Danso has been ruled out for the next few weeks after picking up a hamstring injury late into the 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.
What Postecoglou has said: "He felt it right at the end of the game, so we will see. We have the international break, and Kevin looks after himself, so we will give him a good chance to get back. We have to let it settle down before we get clarity, but he will be pushing for sure."
Possible return date: Chelsea (A) - Thursday, April 3
Richarlison
Injury: Calf
Richarlison picked up another calf problem during the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg defeat to Liverpool back in early February.
What Postecoglou has said: "Probably post-international break. I think he should be there or thereabouts, depending on his progress. It's good to see him out on the grass."
Possible return date: Chelsea (A) - Thursday, April 3
Radu Dragusin
Injury: Knee
Dragusin damaged his ACL in the Europa League win over Elfsborg back in January and underwent successful surgery a few days later.
Possible return date: Unknown
