Antonio Conte's first full season at Tottenham Hotspur kicks off with Saturday's Premier League opener against Southampton in North London.
The Lilywhites saw off the threat of Arsenal to clinch Champions League football last year, finishing fourth on the final day with a 5-0 thrashing of relegated Norwich City.
Conte has overseen victories over Team K-League and Rangers in pre-season, and Spurs also drew with Sevilla before suffering a 1-0 loss to Roma in the I-Tech Cup.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with the Saints.
