Tottenham will be without captain Hugo Lloris at Watford on Sunday, while Erik Lamela (hamstring) will be assessed.

Goalkeeper Lloris, who is facing a drink-driving charge, has a thigh injury and will be joined on the sidelines by Moussa Dembele (hamstring).

Victor Wanyama (knee) is back in full training, while Son Heung-min is still away on international duty with South Korea at the Asian Games.

Provisional squad: Vorm, Gazzaniga, Trippier, Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Sanchez, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Eriksen, Alli, Lamela, Winks, Moura, Llorente, Kane.

Gerard Deulofeu is back in training and could even feature for Watford.

The former Barcelona star has been battling a groin strain but is now closing in on a return to action.

Miguel Britos has shaken off a knock, leaving Tom Cleverley with Achilles trouble Watford’s only long-term absentee.

Provisional squad: Foster, Kabasele, Cathcart, Janmaat, Holebas, Hughes, Pereyra, Doucoure, Capoue, Chalobah, Gray, Deeney, Gomes, Prodl, Britos, Masina, Mariappa, Sema, Kiko, Deulofeu, Success, Okaka.
