Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon have returned to training for Tottenham, but neither is expected to be involved in Saturday’s clash against Watford.
The summer signings joined up with a skeleton squad over the international break, but the visit of the bottom-placed Hornets will come too soon for both.
Sessegnon is yet to feature having joined from Fulham with a hamstring injury and the club are taking care with his recovery after he suffered a setback following a return to training last month.
Lo Celso suffered a hip problem on Argentina duty last month, having made just three substitute appearances after joining on loan from Real Betis.
Spurs are aiming to return to winning ways back at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after defeat at Brighton last time out followed their humiliating loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
After Watford, they face back-to-back trips to Merseyside - against leaders Liverpool then Everton - aiming to end a winless run on the road in domestic competition which dates back to January.
