Tottenham will not be boosted by any injury returns for tonight’s Premier League clash with Leicester.
Spurs head to the King Power Stadium in a game that was initially due to be played in December, but was postponed because of a Covid outbreak in the Foxes camp.
Conte’s side have had a week off since losing to Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg after they were left frustrated with the Premier League’s decision to accept Arsenal’s request for the postponement of Sunday’s north London derby.
However, Conte says the break has not given them time to get the likes of Heung-min Son, Eric Dier and Cristian Romero fit again.
Hugo Lloris returns in goal against Leicester having been controversially left out of the Chelsea defeat in favour of cup keeper Pierluigi Gollini, while Japhet Tanganga keeps his place at centre-back with Dier and Romero still out.
Sergio Reguilon does not miss out despite being a major doubt, and the absence of Son sees a 3-5-2 formation employed again as Lucas Moura joins Harry Kane up front.
Tottenham XI: Lloris; Tanganga, Sanchez, Davies; Emerson, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Winks, Reguilon; Lucas, Kane.
