As for the 35-year-old French captain and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and the 24-year-old Argentine defender Cristian Romero are not expected to play, and Lloris may sit on the bench in today's game.


Romero will stay in Argentina to continue his vacation and enjoy the joy of winning the World Cup with other Argentine players. He is expected to return in the game against Aston Villa on January 1 next year.

On the other hand, Conte also confirmed earlier that the 25-year-old midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur will miss today's game and will return against Aston Villa. The 29-year-old defender Ben Davies returned from injury and will play in today's Premier League.


Following the World Cup, Tottenham lost 3 starting players in today's away game against Brentford in the first Premier League restart, namely the offensive general and the defensive core. Tottenham are currently ranked 4th in the Premier League with a record of 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, 3 points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United. However, as Tottenham face a lineup of injured and disabled players, it is likely to affect Tottenham's next situation in the Premier League.
