Tottenham vs West Ham: What has been said? 

Tottenham boss Postecoglou: “We do have a couple who are [injured], obviously Rodrigo Bentancur has got his injury and is still a little bit off. 

“Fraser Forster has got a bit of a back injury, which means he won’t travel and won’t be able to participate. 

“There are a couple of others who are touch and go at the moment. We will see how they go for the next few days. 

“For me, I would really like as many of the group along as possible because it is the best way to figure out how we set up our environment and sort of the culture around the group if everyone is there. 

“But if it is going to be beneficial for some guys to stay back, we’ll make that decision. I don’t think there will be too many in that boat at the moment.”
