The most-up-to-date Tottenham injury news sees Cristian Stellini contend with a lengthy absentee list as he takes charge of his first match since being named interim manager.

Tottenham were rocked by the exit of Antonio Conte over the international break following his brazen post-match conference in the aftermath of their 3-3 draw against Southampton.

They find themselves in fourth place as they prepare for the final 10 games of the season, but without a permanent manager and a growing injury list, they will be be eager to build momentum starting with Everton on Monday evening. Both Brighton and Newcastle have games in hand over Spurs, which, should they win, can leapfrog them into Champions League contention.

Relegation-threatened Everton welcome Tottenham as Premier League action resumes, and find themselves in the midst of an impressive three-game unbeaten streak which includes a victory over Brentford, and a 2-2 draw away at Stamford Bridge.

Sean Dyche has galvanised the Toffees since returning to management, and Spurs travel to Merseyside not only having to contend with a spirited opponent, but also with an injury-plagued squad.

The latest doubt concerns Richarlison, who was forced to pull out of international duty with Brazil after leaving the pitch in tears against Southampton last time out. Reports suggest the calf injury has been assessed and is not as severe as initially thought, which could see him return for next week’s crucial clash against Brighton.

Elsewhere, compatriot Emerson Royal is unlikely to feature again this season following a nasty meniscus injury to his knee, which is set to sideline the full-back for around six weeks.

Add to that long-term absentees in Rodrigo Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon and Yves Bissouma, the latest Tottenham injury news makes for grim reading as we approach the season’s end.

It isn’t all doom and gloom however, with Hugo Lloris nearing a return to the starting 11; the Frenchman played 45 minutes in a friendly with Ipswich over the break, and may be in line for a starting spot on Monday night.
