Tottenham latest news: Spurs stars Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama out of North London derby clash with Arsenal
But Mauricio Pochettino received a triple boost as England pull-outs Harry Kane, Dele and Harry Winks all returned to training ahead of Emirates showdown
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.
Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly expecting Alderweireld to be out for six weeks, but he 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.
