Antonio Conte has confirmed that he will be without three players for Tottenham's game against Man City on Saturday evening.
Facing a huge task against the Premier League leaders at the Etihad Stadium, the Italian will once again have to do without Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga through injury.
The head coach also confirmed in his pre-match press conference that one of his players will also be absent due to Covid.
However, there is some good news for the team with Eric Dier fit enough to return after missing out recently due to a thigh issue.
"I like when we can speak about football and not other situations," he explained. "Dier is available, fit and OK. Skipp's working, getting better but he’s not ready. Tanganga is the same.
"We have recovered Steven Bergwijn because three days ago he had a little problem in his calf but now he’s available.
"So only two players are not available for the game against City."

When asked if Spurs have any Covid issues ahead of the game, Conte said: "Yes, we have one problem. Yes, one problem, yes, yes.
"Yes. Yes. Sorry for before, I didn’t consider this situation, this situation. Tomorrow we’ll miss three players."
