The no-nonsense Aussie has revealed that defender Micky Van de Ven and £65 million striker Dominic Solanke are both in line to make their returns from injury.
“It’s fairly positive,” he told the Spurs official website.
“Micky’s [Van de Ven] good, he’s trained all the way through the international break and it was good for him to stay with us to build him back up so he’s ready to go.
Micky van de Ven is in line to play against Arsenal this weekend.
“Dom’s [Solanke] improved as well and trained the back half of this week. We still have two days to go with those guys so hopefully they get through training ok and are available.”
