Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has confirmed that Fraser Forster will start in goal for Monday's Premier League clash with Brentford.
Hugo Lloris was involved for France in last weekend's World Cup final; the club's number one will be in the squad for this match but only on the bench, with Forster set to start.
However, Cristian Romero, who helped Argentina win the competition, will not be involved in this contest.
Richarlison is also out with the hamstring injury that he picked up while representing Brazil at the international competition.
Rodrigo Bentancur will be missing, meanwhile, due to suspension, but the midfielder is also injured, as he suffered a knock while representing Uruguay at the World Cup.
Ryan Sessegnon is also a major doubt due to the problem that he picked up at the start of November.
Head coach Conte will still be able to select a strong XI, though, with Ivan Perisic in contention after returning to training, while Harry Kane and Son Heung-min should start in the final third of the field.
Yves Bissouma could be handed a start in central midfield, while Clement Lenglet is likely to line up alongside Eric Dier and Ben Davies in the middle of the defence.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Forster; Dier, Lenglet, Davies; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
