Next weekend, Spurs face Nottingham Forest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a crucial clash in the relegation fight.
A win would create some breathing space between Tottenham and the bottom three, while defeat could drag them into the drop zone.
Tottenham may receive a boost ahead of the match, with up to five players potentially returning to the squad.
Cristian Romero and Joao Palhinha could both be available again after missing the Liverpool game due to concussion protocols following a head collision during the match against Atletico Madrid.
Conor Gallagher, who was absent against Liverpool due to a fever, is also expected to recover soon and could be back in contention.
Destiny Udogie is nearing a return from the hamstring injury he sustained against Manchester United and could be available for the Forest match after missing the games against Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
Meanwhile, Micky van de Ven is set to return after serving the suspension he received following his red card against Crystal Palace.
