Tottenham injury news and return dates: Maddison, Lo Celso updates and more as 8 out v Everton

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to boost their top four push with a victory over Everton. 

The Lillywhites have performed well this season after the sale of their top striker Harry Kane and the likes Heung Min-Son, Dejan Kulusevski and a revitalised Richarlison have all impressed in attack in recent weeks. Spurs play host to an in-form Everton team at the weekend. The Toffees have won all of their last four games in the league to almost immediately wipe out the 10 point deduction that was handed to them earlier in the season.

The Merseyside side have performed admirably under Sean Dyche and look much more likely to survive in the top-flight in comparison to their previous two seasons. Tottenham know they will need to be at their best if they are to pick up all three points in this encounter, but Postecoglou will also have to deal with a number of injury issues for his team.

With that in mind we have rounded up all of the latest injury news from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and updates on their potential comeback dates.
