Spurs news: Big injury boost, trio's suspension risk, lineup for Brighton, Gerson transfer talks

Jose Mourinho has overseen two matches in charge against fellow top six sides since arriving at Tottenham and failed to win both.

Both came against his former sides too, with defeat to Manchester United and now Chelsea.

Spurs will want to get back on the horse and they have the perfect opportunity to do so with quickfire games against Brighton, Norwich and Southampton over the festive period.

Mourinho wil be boosted by the return to action of a key player. That and more from around Spurs in the last 24 hours is below in our round-up of the biggest stories.

Injury boost

Tottenham face a hectic run of fixtures in the Premier League.

It is that time of year when games come thick and fast.

And Jose Mourinho will want to have as many players at his disposal as possible.

On that front, he has been given a rather healthy boost with the news that one his injured stars is ready to return to the fold.

Find out who that is here.

Suspension risk

Tottenham will be without Son Heung-min for three games following his red card against Chelsea on Sunday.

Spurs have appealed the decision, but it seems unlikely to be overturned given the replays that showed the intent of his retaliation to an Antonio Rudiger challenge.

Brighton will be the first game Son misses, but there are three players whom, if they pick up a yellow card against the Seagulls, they will miss the next game against Norwich too.

Lineup for Brighton

With games coming thick and fast, Jose Mourinho may be tempted to use his squad to the fullest over the festive period.

Tottenham take on Brighton on Boxing Day, just four days after defeat to Chelsea and two days before a match with Norwich City.
