Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte is dealing with several injury concerns ahead of their Premier League clash with Nottingham Forest.
Steve Cooper's side will head to the capital for Saturday's 3pm kick-off, having secured a point against Everton last time out. Spurs, meanwhile, have had a tough week, tasting defeat to Wolves and getting knocked out of the Champions League to AC Milan.
Ahead of the clash, Conte will be boosted by the return of defender Eric Dier, who missed out in midweek after serving a European ban. On the other hand, Emerson Royal and Ivan Perisic are in doubt and are set to be assessed late.

In his pre-match press conference, Conte said: "Emerson didn't have training today because he had a kick and today he wasn't able to train. Tomorrow morning we'll try him and see if he's available at least for the bench.
"Another situation we have to monitor is Perisic, he had a training session today but tomorrow I have to speak to him and see if he's available."
Other absences include Yves Bissouma, Ryan Sessegnon, Hugo Lloris and Rodrigo Bentancur.
