Pedro Porro and Richarlison are set to return to Tottenham’s squad for today’s north London derby against Arsenal, but Destiny Udogie has been ruled out.
Ben Davies is expected to deputise on the left of the back four against Premier League leaders Arsenal after Italian defender Udogie’s season was ended by surgery on a leg muscle injury.

On the other flank, Porro has trained all week after being forced off early in the second half of Spurs’ defeat to Newcastle last time out – easing Ange Postecoglou’s defensive concerns.
Richarlison has also trained this week leaving Postecoglou with a number of options for his front three, with two places up for grabs alongside Heung-min Son.
Brennan Johnson and Dejan Kulusevski are competing for a spot on the right wing while Timo Werner and Richarlison are also jostling for position, with Son capable of playing through the middle or wide left.
Postecoglou’s other selection decision is in the midfield, where Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Sarr are competing for two spots.
Oliver Skipp is unavailable after picking up a knock in training.
Predicted Spurs XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Werner; Son
Injuries: Solomon, Udogie, Forster, Sessegnon, Skipp
