Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou might be working around another double-figure absentee list for Sunday's Premier League battle with Leicester City in North London.

The Lilywhites came through Thursday's Europa League clash against Hoffenheim with a 3-2 victory to their name and also welcomed Fraser Forster and Rodrigo Bentancur back to their ranks following illness and a head injury respectively.

However, Djed Spence (knock), Yves Bissouma (knock), Pape Sarr (knock), Dominic Solanke (knee), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Cristian Romero (thigh), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Destiny Udogie (hamstring), Brennan Johnson (calf) and Timo Werner (hamstring) all missed out, and only the former three might have a shot of coming back for Sunday.

Postecoglou is guaranteed to receive one defensive fillips in the shape of Antonin Kinsky, though, as the January signing prepares to displace Brandon Austin in between the posts.

Due to Spence's concern, Tottenham should put out an unchanged defensive lineup, as Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, Pedro Porro and the experienced Ben Davies take their spots in front of Kinsky.

Sarr's possible return might allow Postecoglou to rest Lucas Bergvall as the Senegal international joins Bentancur and James Maddison in the centre, but the front three is sure to remain unchanged.

A first Premier League start of the season awaits Richarlison up front in place of Solanke, and the Brazilian ought to be flanked by Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-min, who netted his 171st and 172nd Spurs goals in midweek.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Kinsky; Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Davies; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son
