Tottenham Hotspur are back in action this weekend as they host Fulham in a Premier League encounter in North London.

Spurs will go into the game on the back of a disappointing 2-2 draw with Roma in the Europa League, which earned criticism from the likes of Peter Crouch and Paul Robinson.

However, Tottenham’s last Premier League match was a 4-0 win over Manchester City, so they certainly have what it takes to beat anyone on their day.

Ange Postecoglou spoke to reporters on Friday and he lifted the lid on Spurs’ injury situation ahead of the Cottagers clash.

Cristian Romero return ‘unlikely’ but not impossible as Tottenham gear up for Fulham clash

Postecoglou said he had a clean bill of health with regards to the Tottenham players who took part in the Roma game.

However, he admitted he wanted to exercise caution after he thought the same after the Man City game, only for Guglielmo Vicario to have to undergo surgery.

Postecoglou also said Cristian Romero is getting closer to a return to action, though he suggested that the Fulham game may come just a bit too soon.

“So last night, at this stage a clean bill of health,” Postecoglou said.

“Mind you, I thought that last week and we had a guy who needed surgery an hour later.

“I think everything is alright from last night. Obviously we’ll see when the boys come in.

“Returns…unlikely. Romero is closer, he’s probably the closest but again probably unlikely, but I’m not ruling him out.

“He’s got to get through a few things today and then we’ve got a session tomorrow.”

Other Tottenham team news ahead of Fulham clash

Postecoglou also provided an update on Dominic Solanke, who looked like he suffered a groin problem against Roma.

“Yeah, he’s fine,” he said.

“He’s a bit sore but we’re obviously really thin squad-wise, especially in that front third, so he’s working hard for us.

“At this stage nothing that’s too significant.”

Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Micky van de Ven are sidelined with hamstring injuries, while Guglielmo Vicario is recovering from ankle surgery.

Mikey Moore continues to recover from a virus, while Rodrigo Bentancur is set to serve the second match of his seven-game domestic ban.

James Maddison was rested against Roma but he looks set to return to the squad against Fulham.
