Emerson Royal injury update
Emerson Royal could return to action for Tottenham within two weeks which would put him back in contention for their Premier League match against Crystal Palace.
The 24-year-old Brazilian underwent surgery on the meniscus in his knee in his homeland last month after suffering the injury in the final moments of his 90-minute display against Morocco in a friendly, having earned a recall to the Brazil squad. The timeframe for his recovery was set as four to six weeks and the player is understood to be on track and could be available in time for the home match on May 6 against Palace.

Tottenham have four transfer priorities to reshape squad
This season has highlighted that so much more has to be done in the transfer market if Tottenham are to progress as a club. Signing seven players last summer, a further two were added in January with Pedro Porro and Arnaut Danjuma joining from Sporting CP and Villarreal respectively.
With seven games remaining in Tottenham's campaign, the Lilywhites are still very much in the mix for a top-four finish but it is all going to come down to how they fare in the run-in with inconsistency plaguing them since the term got underway. Cristian Stellini's team really should be higher than fifth going on some of the points they've dropped, including recently against struggling Wolves, Leicester City, Southampton, Everton and Bournemouth.
So what exactly does Daniel Levy have to do for Tottenham's next head coach before the summer transfer deadline draws to a close? football.london takes a look below.
Dejan Kulusevski makes Ryan Mason point
Dejan Kulusevski has explained why he enjoys working with Ryan Mason in training at Tottenham but why his own sister is his harshest critic.
The 22-year-old Swede began life at Spurs in blistering fashion with goals and assists aplenty after his January loan move from Juventus last year. The second season in the Premier League has been tougher for Kulusevski, with two goals and seven assists in 30 matches but the young attacker is constantly trying to learn.
Tottenham have struggled as a team this season and that brought about the exit of Antonio Conte last month. During an interview with the club last week, after surprising students from Haringey Hawks Basketball Club, Kulusevski spoke ahead of the defeat at Bournemouth about the changes to the management team with Cristian Stellini stepping up as acting head coach with Ryan Mason as his number two.
