Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has stated in a pre-match press conference his team will be without three players, but one main man may return to the line-up
Tottenham take on Chelsea at their temporary home, Wembley on Sunday, and Pochettino will be desperate to get off to a positive start after struggling during their European games last season.
However, Spurs will face Chelsea without Danny Rose, Erik Lamela and attacker Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.
Rose is still working his way back to match fitness from a knee ligament injury that he suffered last season, Lamela is also still out with an on-going hip injury and attacker Georges-Kevin N’Koudou will be missing out again this weekend due to a foot injury.
