Tottenham forward Randal Kolo Muani is unexpectedly available for Sunday's North London derby against Arsenal, despite a jaw injury, after being fitted with a protective mask.
Manager Thomas Frank confirmed Pape Sarr and Lucas Bergvall are also available, with defenders Ben Davies and Kota Takai returning to training.
Key players James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, and Dominic Solanke remain sidelined for the crucial fixture.
Frank emphasised the immense significance of the north London derby, calling it one of the most important games of the year for the club.
The match will feature a reunion of set-piece coaches Nicolas Jover (Arsenal) and Andreas Georgson (Spurs), both of whom previously worked under Frank at Brentford.
