Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo says it is not his job to convince anyone to play for the club after record signing Tanguy Ndombele asked to leave.
Spurs are already dealing with one player who wants out in the shape of Harry Kane, who is keen to join Manchester City this summer.
And it is understood that Ndombele also wants to exit this summer having been frozen out by new boss Nuno and his future at the club looks in doubt.
The Frenchman, who cost £55million from Lyon in 2019, has never hit the heights in north London, despite flashes of brilliance and has had difficulties with Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, Ryan Mason and now Nuno.
The England captain has stepped up his training this week following his late return from holiday, but there should be no physical issues as to why he would not be involved.
Asked who would make the call, Nuno said: “Me and Harry.”
He added on Friday: “He trained well today. He is better than yesterday. It is a growing process. Each day he goes on the pitch he improves his fitness.
“It is a decision we are going to take tomorrow.
“There is not much more than I can add that I have not already said.”
On whether Kane’s selection would be based solely on fitness, Nuno added: “Everything, everything, not only with Harry but with all the players.
“We had issues with the match yesterday. The players are recovering. We have to measure all the things with all the players, and Harry is one more situation where we have to think and decide.”
Nuno also urged his players to take up the offer of a coronavirus vaccine as the Premier League returns to a degree of normality this season.
“The pandemic is still with us and we’re learning to live with that,” he said.
“I respect all the personal choices – each and every one of us should decide – but I’m in favour of the vaccine and I would (encourage) all the players to get the vaccine, that allows maybe this freedom of when the players want to celebrate.
“It doesn’t mean you’re totally free from contracting the virus but it gives you more safety. So I’m truly in favour of the vaccine.
“But now fans are back it’s very difficult to control the emotions of the players. If they score and they want to go in the crowd, how can you stop it?”
