Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho could be handed a double injury blow ahead of Saturday’s meeting with West Ham, with Jan Vertonghen and Tanguy Ndombele facing late fitness tests ahead of the visit to the London Stadium.
That’s according to PA journalist Jonathan Veal, who claims that the pair are doubts for the clash with Manuel Pellegrini’s men.
Midfielder Ndombele is suffering from a groin issue, while experienced defender Vertonghen has a hamstring problem.

Erik Lamela is also out, so it appears as if Spurs could be thin on the ground at the London Stadium.
The news will come as a boost to Pellegrini, with the doubtful pair expected to play key roles under Mourinho when fully fit.
Harry Winks replaced Ndombele against Sheffield United prior to the international break, so the 23-year-old could be in line for a start.
Meanhwile, at the back, Vertonghen’s fellow countryman Toby Alderweireld could come back into the side, with Davinson Sanchez, Eric Dier and Juan Foyth other options available to Mourinho.
