Tottenham could be boosted by the return of Mousa Dembele,
with the midfielder set for a late fitness test as the club prepare
to face Southampton in the Premier League.
Dembele has missed Tottenham's past two fixtures - a 2-1 loss
against Newcastle United and a 4-1 win over Monaco - due to a
foot injury picked up in a 1-1 draw against West Brom a
fortnight ago.
Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino confirmed Dembele could
be a late inclusion for their away clash at St Mary's on
Saturday, pending a fitness test.
"Dembele is close. We need to assess him now in training,"
Pochettino said.
However, the Argentinean will be without Clinton N'Jie for a
month, while Ryan Mason and Alex Pritchard are still
unavailable.
"Clinton picked up a ligament injury in his knee and maybe we
miss him for a while," Pochettino added.
"It's difficult to say how long. Maybe in the next few days we
can communicate better with more specific details. Will it be
more than a month? Maybe, yes.
"Ryan Mason is still out and so is Alex Pritchard. We hope that
after the last training session everyone will be good."
