Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Ryan Mason will need to make a check on midfielder Oliver Skipp ahead of Saturday's Premier League London derby against Crystal Palace.

The Englishman was caught with a high boot from Diogo Jota in last weekend's 4-3 loss to Liverpool, coming off the field with blood dripping from the wound.

Hugo Lloris and Ryan Sessegnon have now been ruled out for the rest of the season due to their respective hip and hamstring problems, while Emerson Royal (knee), Rodrigo Bentancur (knee) and Yves Bissouma (ankle) are guaranteed to miss out too.

Fraser Forster will marshal his defence once more in place of Lloris, and an unchanged backline could comprise Eric Dier, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies for the visit of the Eagles.

Having left a lot to be desired against Manchester United, Dier did not cover himself in glory at all against Liverpool either, but Mason is unlikely to consider dropping the experienced Englishman as Clement Lenglet watches on from the bench.

Pedro Porro and Ivan Perisic are indispensable in the wide roles, while Skipp should be given the green light to play alongside Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the middle, but Pape Sarr is waiting in the wings to be called upon.

Fresh from scoring his long-awaited first Premier League goal for Tottenham - albeit an inconsequential one - Richarlison may have done enough to push Dejan Kulusevski out of the team, as Son Heung-min and Harry Kane welcome the Brazilian back to the three-pronged attack.
