After being without defensive pairing Micky van de Ven and Christian Romero through injury, the pair returned for the club's clash with Chelsea last month only to both be forced off in the 4-3 defeat. Meanwhile club No 1 Guglielmo Vicario has been out since November with an ankle injury and Dustin Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Richarlison are all also unavailable.

The setbacks reportedly led the club to launch a review of their medical department last month, with Postecoglou said to be frustrated by players breaking down after returning from the sidelines. Following the review, Spurs advertised the role of head of the men's medical department on the business and employment social media site LinkedIn.
