With the Premier League slowly getting towards the business end, Tottenham Hotspur are in a huge fight to return to the Champions League after suffering a third defeat in a row in midweek.
Ange Postecoglou will be eager to rally his troops ahead of another tough test away at Liverpool, having just been beaten in two London derbies in the space of a few days.
Football FanCast keeps you updated with all the latest Spurs news on the injury front ahead of their trip to Anfield.
Latest Spurs injury news
Postecoglou was tight-lipped on any injury concerns ahead of Liverpool, mainly owing to the short turnaround from the Chelsea game. He appeared confident that there would be no major issues, though he did suggest some players were "still feeling the effects of the game".
He was also asked whether he was tempted to rest Son Heung-min, with the captain's last goal from open play coming in March's late win over Luton Town. The boss noted there have been challenges for the South Korean this year and "will find a way to work his way through it".
The Australian confirmed last week that Ben Davies would be out for the rest of the season with a calf injury. The same can be said for Timo Werner, whose hamstring issue means that he may have played his last game in Tottenham colours unless his loan deal is made permanent in the summer.
In terms of those already injured, Oliver Skipp is set to return from a knock that kept him out of the defeat to Arsenal, while Destiny Udogie, Fraser Forster, Ryan Sessegnon and Manor Solomon all remain longer-term absentees.

Ben Davies – calf
Defender Ben Davies was drafted in for the north London derby, which was his first game in over two months. Perhaps this lack of sharpness contributed to his latest injury issue, with the Welshman suffering from a calf problem that Postecoglou expects will keep him out of Spurs' remaining games.
Timo Werner – hamstring
Timo Werner was substituted in the first half against the Gunners last weekend, and after damage to his hamstring was confirmed, Postecoglou was resigned to being without the German for the rest of the campaign. Whether Werner returns to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium now likely relies on RB Leipzig negotiating a deal with Spurs in the summer over extending his stay in north London.
Oliver Skipp – knock
Oliver Skipp hasn't featured since early February as a late substitute in Spurs' draw at Everton.
His recent absence since was down to what Postecoglou described as a "minor knock", with his manager ruling him out of last weekend's derby clash with Arsenal. However, he returned to the bench for the defeat against Chelsea, so should be near enough full fitness.
Destiny Udogie – thigh
The club recently confirmed that Italy international Destiny Udogie had undergone surgery to his left thigh following a training injury.
Ahead of the north London derby, Postecoglou confirmed that his season is over, saying (via Football.london): ""Bit disappointing for him and for us as he has been such an important player for us. So yeah, unfortunately picking up an injury means the end of his season."
Fraser Forster – foot fracture
Fraser Forster is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after fracturing his foot.
At the time of the injury, it looked like it was going to be at least two months before he returned to the bench, but it appears as though next season now looks most likely.
Ryan Sessegnon – hamstring
Ryan Sessegnon's injury troubles continue as he's now set for surgery on a hamstring injury he picked up during an under-21s match.
Ange said this on the full-back's situation back in March: "Obviously, Sess had his hamstring and had to have surgery on that so that was kind of last game."
Manor Solomon – knee
Tottenham Hotspur provided an update on Manor Solomon's injury in October, which read: "It was announced on Thursday (5 October) that our number 27 had suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee in training this week. The forward underwent surgery the same day and has now started his rehabilitation as he looks to get back to full fitness."
And, things still aren't really any better as the winger is still dealing with an issue which Ange provided an update on a few weeks ago:
"No real progress. He's still not comfortable. The medical team are looking at other strategies now."
Latest Spurs suspension news
The Lilywhites have no suspensions heading into their next game.
