Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has some big calls to make for Saturday's Premier League clash with Leeds United at Elland Road.
The Lilywhites are still coping without Cristian Romero (calf) and Son Heung-min (eye) for the time being, although the latter will be fine to represent South Korea at the World Cup.
Fraser Forster was one of Tottenham's best performers in their EFL Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest, but the ex-Southampton man is now in line to drop back out for Hugo Lloris.
A dreadful evening for Davinson Sanchez should see Eric Dier instead line up on the right-hand side of the back three, as the well-rested Ben Davies returns alongside Clement Lenglet.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur should both be fit enough to line up in the centre of the park, but Ryan Sessegnon played through the pain of an injury in the dying embers of Wednesday's game.
With the 22-year-old confirmed to be missing out here, Ivan Perisic should now revert to his wing-back role, and Conte is facing a huge decision on the right-hand side of the midfield.
Djed Spence was a lively spark off the bench against Forest after replacing the ineffective Matt Doherty, but with Conte seemingly deeming the Englishman not ready for Premier League starts, Emerson Royal will likely line up here.
In a major boost to their attacking ranks, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison should now be fit to start in a 3-4-3 alongside Harry Kane, who came off with fatigue before the hour mark in midweek but is expected to be fine for this one.
Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Dier, Lenglet, Davies; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Richarlison
