Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action on Friday evening with a huge clash against Manchester United.
Three months on from their most recent outing, Jose Mourinho's men quite simply have to hit the ground running if they are to keep their top-five hopes alive.
The Lilywhites lost five and drew one of their last six matches before the coronavirus pandemic forced football to shut down, seeing them exit both the FA Cup and Champions League.
However, the 99-day gap between their 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig and Friday's visit of United has given a few key players - including Harry Kane, Steven Bergwijn and Son Heung-min - a chance to return to fitness in time for the run-in.
Ahead of their first game back, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news.

Tottenham will also have to make do without midfielder Dele Alli, who was handed a one-match ban by the Football Association last week for improper conduct after posting an offensive video on social media relating to the coronavirus outbreak.
