Team news
Tottenham have reported no positive Covid-19 cases in their squad ahead of Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie against West Ham.
Cristian Romero remains sidelined with a hamstring injury, but Antonio Conte confirmed he is only a few weeks away from a return. Ryan Sessegnon will also miss out after picking up a muscular problem against Liverpool on Sunday.
On Sessegnon’s absence, Conte said: “Ten days to two weeks. He had a muscular problem at the end of the game against Liverpool.
“For sure, we have to find a good solution with Sess because I have seen in the past he has suffered a bit from this type of injury. So we have to find the right solution with the medical department. And also with the player.”
West Ham will be without Vladimir Coufal, who will serve a one-match ban after being sent off against Arsenal last week.
Kurt Zouma (hamstring), Angelo Ogbonna (knee) and Ryan Fredericks (groin) are also out, but Ben Johnson (hamstring) and Aaron Cresswell (back) are closer to making their returns.
