Tottenham predicted team vs Leicester City: Returning players come into Conte's line-up

Injuries will force Antonio Conte into making certain decisions with his Tottenham Hotspur side to face Leicester City on Wednesday in the Premier League.

Spurs' north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday was postponed meaning that as one positive some players on their way back from injury have had more time to recover.

Sergio Reguilon has been back in full and Conte confirmed last week that he had asked Steven Bergwijn if he was fit enough to take his place on the bench against the Gunners following his recovery from injury.

With another four days under his belt, the Dutchman should be in a better place with his fitness for the match at the King Power Stadium.

Conte could have to decide between him, Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil for the extra slot in and around Harry Kane and Lucas Moura.

Cristian Romero is gradually taking more and more of a part in training after his long absence but the head coach said they had to be calm about bringing him back and he will not be back until after the upcoming break.

Eric Dier will miss out though injury and the Spurs boss will have decisions to make in defence and midfield, including whether Reguilon is fit enough to start or whether Ryan Sessegnon makes a rare Premier League start in a Tottenham shirt.

Here is the team that we reckon Conte will choose to face Brendan Rodgers' side:

3-4-3: Lloris; Tanganga, Sanchez, Davies; Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Lucas, Kane, Bergwijn.
