Full Tottenham squad revealed for Brighton clash as Antonio Conte handed major injury boost

Tottenham Hotspur host Brighton in north London on Saturday evening in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Spurs are battling to lift their first major silverware since their League Cup success back in 2008 and this is the perfect chance for Antonio Conte to win something in his first season as head coach.

Conte will welcome back summer signing Cristian Romero and prolific frontman Son Heung-Min to the squad after the pair missed a number of recent outings through respective injuries.

Speaking ahead of the highly-anticipated clash, the former Inter Milan boss said: "For sure, Cristian could be a new signing for us! With me, he’s only played two games.

"It’s important to have a player with his potential available now. We’ve seen the improvement in [Davinson] Sanchez, [Ben] Davies, [Japhet] Tanganga, it was good, and now to have Cristian available is good news, and like a new player for me.

"Sonny is okay, and now we have three games in a few days, it will be very important to give him the right minutes to play, but Sonny is another player that, you know very well, is very important for us.

"He can move the balance during a game. I’m very happy to have him available again."

Meanwhile, Conte also confirmed that both Japhet Tanganga and Oliver Skipp will be sidelined, whilst January signings Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski will both be available to face Graham Potter's side but appear most likely to start on the bench.

When asked about Tanganga and Skipp, the Italian said: "Only these two players are unavailable, the rest are available."

On Bentancur and Kulusevski, he added: "The two players are fit and, for this reason, tomorrow, they are available, for sure.

"To start the game, I think is not right, because they need to work with the team for a period. These two players can help us a lot."

With that in mind, let's take a look at the full squad Spurs have available to them.

Goalkeepers : Hugo Lloris, Pierluigi Gollini.

Defenders : Davinson Sanchez, Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Emerson Royal, Joe Rodon, Ben Davies, Matt Doherty, Sergio Reguilon, Ryan Sessegnon.

Midfielders : Rodrigo Bentancur, Harry Winks, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Harvey White.

Forwards : Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min, Lucas Moura, Dane Scarlett, Steven Bergwijn, Dejan Kulusevski.
