Still in with a shot of Champions League qualification, Tottenham Hotspur face their toughest remaining Premier League test at home to champions Manchester City on Tuesday night.
Ange Postecoglou's men sent Burnley back down to the Championship thanks to a 2-1 come-from-behind beating of the Clarets on Saturday, where Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven cancelled out Jacob Bruun Larsen's opener.
Relegating Burnley saw fifth-placed Tottenham cut the gap to fourth-placed Aston Villa to four points with two games remaining, but the Lions will eliminate Spurs from top-four contention by overcoming Liverpool on Monday night.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with the Citizens, who rose back into top spot above Arsenal owing to a 4-0 thrashing of Fulham on Saturday lunchtime.

Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: Unknown
Richarlison was a surprise omission from Brazil's 2024 Copa America squad, which head coach Dorival Junior explained was due to a calf injury. True enough, Postecoglou confirmed that the attacker had sustained the issue in a recent training session, and he is not expected to play again this season.

Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown
Fellow attacker Timo Werner damaged his thigh in the North London derby loss to Arsenal last month, and if his loan from RB Leipzig is not converted into a permanent deal, he has played his last match for the Lilywhites.

Ben Davies was another casualty of that 3-2 loss to Arsenal with a calf problem, one that will also prevent him from taking to the field again this term.

Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown
Spurs currently have no recognised left-back available due to the absences of Davies and Destiny Udogie, who is on the mend from season-ending thigh surgery and is also set to miss Euro 2024.

Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: Unknown
There was initially hope that Fraser Forster's foot fracture would have healed by April, but the veteran goalkeeper is still yet to return to the matchday squad and will ostensibly not come back until 2024-25 either.

Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown
A severe knee injury has limited Manor Solomon to a mere six appearances in a Tottenham shirt this term, and he is targeting a return in pre-season after undergoing a number of surgeries.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown
However, the unfortunate Ryan Sessegnon has played just once for the senior squad this term due to a pair of hamstring problems, the latter of which he sustained on Under-21s duty, and there is no chance of him being fit for Spurs' closing two matches.
