Tottenham will assess a host of players ahead of their Premier League clash with Burnley.

Kieran Tripper, Serge Aurier (both groin), Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth (hamstring) have all been struggling in recent weeks.

Mousa Dembele (ankle) and Victor Wanyama (knee) miss out, but Jan Vertonghen returns from his Premier League ban.

Provisional squad: Lloris, Gazzaniga, Skipp, Aurier, Sanchez, Rose, Vertonghen, Foyth, Alderweireld, Walker-Peters, Moura, Dier, Son, Alli, Kane, Eriksen, Winks, Davies, Sissoko, Llorente, Vorm.

Steven Defour and Johann Berg Gudmundsson are both highly doubtful for Burnley.

Defour (calf) has missed the last two matches while Gudmundsson limped off during the second half of last weekend’s victory over Brighton because of a hamstring problem.

Defender Stephen Ward (knee) and goalkeeper Nick Pope (shoulder) both remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: Hart, Heaton, Lowton, Taylor, Mee, Bardsley, Tarkowski, Long, Cork, Brady, Hendrick, Cork, Westwood, Lennon, McNeil, Vokes, Barnes, Wood, Vydra.
