Moussa Dembele will be given a late fitness check ahead of the clash with West Ham on Sunday after he came on against Lazio.

The Belgian had missed the previous nine matches with a hip injury but he came on late in the second half in Rome and he will hope to feature against the Hammers at White Hart Lane.

Andre Villas-Boas will run his late checks over the likes of Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe and the rest of Thursday's team just to check to see if any of them suffered knocks in the goalless draw.

Spurs will be without striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who is suspended after his sending off last week, while Scott Parker (Achilles), Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Younes Kaboul (both knee) are all out.
