Tottenham Hotspur could be without at least five players for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Rodrigo Bentancur has been handed a seven-match ban by the Football Association, which begins this weekend, for comments he made about teammate Son Heung-min a few months ago. Spurs have since lodged an appeal against the length of the ban.
Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are also ruled out with hamstring injuries, while centre-back duo Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are both major doubts with respective hamstring and foot problems.
The potential absence of both Van de Ven and Romero could see Ange Postecoglou select Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies at centre-back, with Destiny Udogie and Pedro Porro - once on the books at Man City - operating as full-backs.
In the absence of Bentancur, who started in Tottenham's 2-1 defeat to Ipswich Town last time out, Yves Bissouma or James Maddison could be recalled to start in centre-midfield alongside Dejan Kulusevski and Pape Matar Sarr.
Son Heung-min, along with Kulusevski, scored in a 3-3 draw away against Man City last season, and he is expected to start in attack alongside Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bissouma, Sarr; Johnson, Solanke, Son
