Spurs will be without Jan Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez, Victor Wanyama, Mousa Demble and Erik Lamela for the visit of Southampton
Kieran Trippier has returned to training for Tottenham Hotspur and could make his return from injury in Wednesday’s Premier League clash at home to Southampton.
The England full-back has not played for Spurs since coming off in the 1-0 win at Crystal Palace on November 10 with a groin problem.
It saw Trippier not only miss out on international duty with the Three Lions, but fail to play a part in the Lilywhites big week.
He had to sit out the games with Chelsea, Inter Milan and Arsenal, but is available again and should start against the Saints.
Mauricio Pochettino will be without several other players for the match against his old club at Wembley Stadium.
Jan Vertonghen is suspended after his red card during Sunday’s 4-2 loss at the Gunners and so Toby Alderweireld should return and partner Juan Foyth at the back.
