Kevin Danso continues alongside Micky van de Ven at centre-back for Tottenham against Everton, with Cristian Romero still out with an adductor strain.
Romero has missed the last two Spurs matches and is not fit to return at Goodison Park. He has returned to individual training on the grass but it remains uncertain when he will be available to Thomas Frank again.

Destiny Udogie, who has not played for Spurs since returning from international duty with a knee injury, is also still out. Archie Gray filled in at left-back in the Champions League but Djed Spence returns to the side against Everton in a more familiar back four.
The midfield partnership of Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur has come under scrutiny. However, Frank has shown that he will turn to the duo whenever possible, particularly away from home and does so again today.
Wilson Odobert is a doubt after he picked up what appeared to be a rib issue against Monaco, but makes the bench.
Dominic Solanke is not yet ready to return after ankle surgery and Frank had a decision to make up front.
Randal Kolo Muani has made two brief cameos off the bench and the Spurs boss opts to give him his first start in midweek against Newcastle after admitting he is not yet up to full speed.
