Tottenham XI vs Fulham: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today
Cristian Romero is “unlikely” to return to the Tottenham XI for today’s visit of Fulham in the Premier League.
The Argentine centre-back has missed the last two games with foot and hamstring niggles, and is set to be assessed after training on Friday.

The Spurs head coach’s big decision is at No8, where Pape Matar Sarr, Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison are pushing for two places, although the Swede could return to the right wing in place of Brennan Johnson.
Maddison was rested from the start against Roma in the Europa League on Thursday and is expected to return to the side after scoring twice in last weekend’s 4-0 win at Manchester City.
Kulusevski completed 90 minutes against the Italians and could be rested this weekend, despite being Spurs’ player of the season so far.
Elsewhere, Postecoglou has few obvious options to change his side, with Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Micky van de Ven (all hamstring) still sidelined, Mikey Moore unavailable as he recovers from a virus and Rodrigo Bentancur set to serve the second match of his seven-game domestic ban.
Guglielmo Vicario is also sidelined after ankle surgery, meaning Fraser Forster will make his first Premier League appearance since May 2023 in goal.
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Bissouma, Maddison, Kulusevski; Johnson, Son, Solanke
Injured: Vicario, Van de Ven, Odobert, Moore, Richarlison
Doubt: Romero
Suspended: Bentancur
Time and date: 1:30pm GMT today, Sunday December 1, 2024
Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
