Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League

Arsenal

#1 Sokratis Papastathopoulos

Arsenal's new recruit Sokratis Papastathopoulos sustained an injury during Greece's 2-1 defeat to Finland on Monday.

The Greek defender is said to have developed an ankle problem and is currently being assessed by the North London club.

The center-back's presence in the squad for Arsenal's upcoming match with Leicester City is unlikely.

#2 Danny Welbeck

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck was also forced to withdraw from Gareth Southgate's England squad with a hamstring injury.

The former Manchester United man is currently being assessed to confirm if the forward will make a return to the squad this weekend.

Huddersfield Town

#1 Philip Billing

The Huddersfield Town midfielder was forced to return to West Yorkshire after picking up an injury while on international duty.

The Denmark Under-21 star was given a call-up to represent his country's Under-21 team in their last UEFA European Championship qualifier against the Faroe Islands on Tuesday.

The youngster, however, decided to travel back to Huddersfield to get his injury assessed.

The Danish football association had announced his injury saying, "Philip Billing is incapable of making tonight's important Under-21 international against the Faroe Islands."

"He has therefore returned to his English club, Huddersfield Town - we wish him a good recovery."

Everton

#1 Idrissa Gueye

Senegal star Idrissa Gueye had sustained an injury during his country's 3-0 win over Sudan in an Africa Cup of Nations Group A qualifier where he also netted a goal.

The former Aston Villa man limped off the pitch in what appeared to be an ankle injury.

Whether Marco Silva will play Gueye for their home clash against Crystal Palace remains to be seen.
