Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Everton

Having forced their way back into the top four of the Premier League table, Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League charge continues when they travel to Everton for Saturday's lunchtime kickoff.

Ange Postecoglou's men fought back from a goal down to sink London rivals Brentford 3-2 in a midweek thriller, where Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson and Richarlison found the mark.

Owing to Aston Villa's loss to Newcastle United 24 hours beforehand, Spurs have leapfrogged the Lions in the rankings, although they are only better off than Unai Emery's side on goal difference.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up their latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Everton, whose midweek clash with Fulham ended goalless.

Status: Out Type of injury: Ankle Possible return date: Unknown

Backup goalkeeper Alfie Whiteman is still on the mend from a serious ankle problem, but the Englishman would only be making the bench in the Premier League anyway.

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: February 10 (vs. Brighton & Hove Albion)

There was hope that Giovani Lo Celso's hamstring issue would clear up in time for the clash with Brentford, but he ultimately did not make the cut, and Saturday's game should also come too soon for the Argentine.

Son Heung-min's South Korea are currently gearing up for their Asian Cup quarter-final with Australia on Friday, meaning that Spurs will cope without their captain for at least one more match.

Status: Minor doubt Possible return date: February 3 (vs. Everton)

In contrast, Senegal's Africa Cup of Nations run ended with a penalty-shootout loss to Ivory Coast in Monday's last-16 fixture, so Pape Sarr will be expected to return to domestic duty this weekend in a significant boost for Postecoglou and co.

By overcoming Senegal, Ivory Coast set up a quarter-final tie with Yves Bissouma's Mali, therefore rendering the former Brighton & Hove Albion man unavailable for the trip to Everton as well.

Status: Out Type of injury: Hamstring Possible return date: Unknown

After only just battling back from a summer hamstring operation, Ryan Sessegnon returned to the infirmary with a slight recurrence of the injury, and it is not clear when the former Fulham winger might be back at Postecoglou's disposal.

Tottenham have no players suspended for this match.
