Tottenham Hotspur are getting some of their injured guys back now, but it still remains to be seen how much they can contribute, if at all, this weekend. Summer signing Kota Takai could make the matchday squad against Fulham, having recently overcome foot and ankle problems.
Maybe Takai makes a cameo in this Saturday night London derby?

Spurs Team News
Elsewhere Radu Dragusin could possibly return to the squad for this match, after having healed from his ACL injury. Again though, he would be on a “pitch count” or have his “minutes managed.” And then you have the unfortunate news of Cristian Romero being suspended, due to his five yellow cards accumulation.
Otherwise the Tottenham team news situation remains the same as it was prior to the 5-3 thumping at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.
