Spurs hope to have captain available again
Heung-min Son is set to be available again for Tottenham as they take on West Ham this afternoon.
The South Korean has missed the last three matches and his country's internationals after picking up a muscle injury against Qarabag in the Europa League last month but has trained this week.
In a major boost to Tottenham’s forward options, Richarlison is also back with the first team though likely to start on the bench against the Hammers, with Postecoglou having already promised to be cautious with the Brazilian following his latest injury lay-off.
Wilson Odobert remains sidelined, with Ange Postecoglou hopeful that the French forward will be back in training next week, while Lucas Bergvall picked up a knock on Sweden duty but should be fit to make the squad this weekend.

Son is likely to replace Timo Werner in Spurs' front line but Postecoglou is otherwise expected to name a similar team to the 3-2 defeat at Brighton last time out, despite Spurs' second-half collapse from 2-0 up on the south coast.
Predicted Tottenham (4-3-3): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Kulusevski, Maddison; Johnson, Son, Solanke
Injured: Odobert
