France head coach Didier Deschamps said:

It’s not very bad, he has a little worry that should be resolved within 48 hours. 

If I had uncertainty, I would have made the decision (to call someone else up), but that’s not the case.

Ndombele has proved to be one of Tottenham’s best players so far this season, chipping in with a few goals from midfield.

Whether he starts against Pellegrini’s men or not, just having him fit is a boost for the north London side.

Do you think West Ham will beat Spurs?
