Injury boost: Pedro Porro is expected to start against Arsenal

Tottenham host Arsenal in a pivotal north London derby, with Spurs having the chance to significantly boost their top-four hopes and in the process potentially end the Gunners’ Premier League title hopes.

Spurs have not played since their heavy defeat to Newcastle a fortnight ago, during which Porro was forced off with a hamstring issue.

The Spanish has been in training, though, and is available to face Arsenal, as is Richarlison, who has been battling a knee injury. Oliver Skipp will miss out.

"Skippy picked up a small knock in training so he'll miss this weekend,” Postecoglou said at his press conference on Friday.

"Pedro and Richy both trained all week so both available."

It is a significant blow for Spurs, with Udogie making 28 Premier League appearances this season and playing a crucial role in Postecoglou’s system from left-back, and the Italian will play no part at Euro 2024 this summer.

“From the last game, disappointing one for Destiny, for ourselves as well because he's been a big part of our year,” Postecoglou said.

“It was an unfortunate incident in training, he's had the operation it's gone well and hopefully he's in time for pre-season to get back into it.”
