Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven remain unavailable for Spurs ahead of their clash with Manchester United.
The North Londoners take on Manchester United in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Thursday evening, as Postecoglou looks to take a step closer to silverware.
Spurs have had to deal with several injuries of late and remain without first-choice centre-back pairing Romero and Van de Ven.
Both players suffered setbacks on their returns from injury earlier this month and are not expected to return until the new year.
However, there was more positive news on Destiny Udogie, Mikey Moore and Ben Davies. The former is in contention to feature despite being substituted in the weekend win at Southampton.
“I think both will be in the new year,” Postecoglou said at his pre-match press conference on Romero and Van de Ven.
“Not as significant an injury as last time with Micky but obviously having a setback the medical team is going to make sure he is right to go.
“Mikey is back in training. The next cabs off the rank are Mikey and Ben Davies potentially next week and Richarlison potentially first week of the new year.”
