Tottenham Hotspur injury update vs. Nottingham Forest - Richarlison blow

Tottenham Hotspur endeavour to reignite their Premier League top-four charge when Nottingham Forest stop over in North London for Sunday's top-flight fixture.

The Lilywhites failed to cling onto a one-goal advantage against West Ham United in midweek, drawing 1-1 with their London rivals as Brennan Johnson's opener was cancelled out by Kurt Zouma.

However, with Aston Villa suffering a heavy loss at Manchester City the following evening, Ange Postecoglou's men are in charge of their Champions League destiny, sitting just two points below the Lions with a match in hand.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Forest, who boosted their survival chances with a brilliant 3-1 win over Fulham last time out.

Status: Out Type of injury: Knee Possible return date: April 13 (vs. Newcastle United)

Richarlison is yet to start for Tottenham since recovering from a knee issue, and Postecoglou revealed on Friday that the Brazilian would be rested this week in order to let the problem heal completely.

Status: Minor doubt Type of injury: Knock Possible return date: April 7 (vs. Nottingham Forest)

After justifying his recall to the starting lineup against West Ham with the opening goal, Johnson had to be taken off at the end of the 90 with a slight knock, but Postecoglou does not think that the issue will be severe enough to rule him out of Sunday's match against his former club.

Status: Out Type of injury: Foot Possible return date: April 28 (vs. Arsenal)

Fraser Forster is still on the mend after sustaining a foot fracture in training in February, but should his rehabilitation go to plan, he could be back in the ranks towards the end of the month.

Manor Solomon has now undergone multiple operations to get to the bottom of a troublesome knee injury, and Postecoglou still cannot say when the attacker might be back in action.

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

The unfortunate Ryan Sessegnon had only just recovered from one severe injury before picking up a season-ending hamstring issue while playing for the Under-21s earlier this year, and the Englishman has months of rehabilitation ahead of him.

Tottenham have no players suspended for this match.
