TOTTENHAM stars Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama are out of Saturday's North London derby against Arsenal.
The Spurs duo have failed to recover from their respective injuries and will miss the crunch clash against their rivals at the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime.
The club confirmed today that defender Alderweireld, who has damaged his hamstring, and midfielder Wanyama, who is suffering with a knee problem, are both continuing their rehabilitation and missed training.MHowever, Mauricio Pochettino did receive a triple boost on the injury front ahead of the trip to face the Gunners. Star striker Harry Kane, who missed England's matches against Germany and Brazil with a troublesome knee, took part in the session this morning.
The hotshot has scored 17 goals in 18 matches for club and country this campaign and the in-form ace's return will strike fear into the Arsenal backline. And he was joined out on the pitch at Spurs' training base in Enfield by his fellow attacker Dele Alli. The 21-year-old was a doubt due to a hamstring strain but he will be back available for selection for the showdown after also pulling out of Three Lions duty. Harry Winks was the other Tottenham man to miss England's latest get-together after hurting his ankle. However, he round of the hat-trick of first-team returnees for Poch as he puts his squad through their final preparations for Arsenal. Second-choice goalkeeper Michel Vorm, 34, also made a comeback at the session. Hugo Lloris' deputy has been carrying a knee injury but should be able to take his place on the bench.
Tottenham travel to the Emirates for a 12.30 lunchtime kick-off against Arsenal. They currently sit third in the Premier League table with Manchester United ahead of them on goal difference and eight points behind leaders Man City. Arsenal are already four points behind their neighbours after just 11 matches, but they can close the gap by defeating their bitter foes.
