Tottenham Hotspur captain Cristian Romero is expected to return for the Premier League match against Chelsea on Saturday

Thomas Frank finally has some key players back and available for selection as Tottenham host Chelsea on Saturday in the Premier League.

Spurs' injury problems have once again spiked to a level that has seen the number of unavailable players reaching double figures but Frank at least confirmed on Friday that captain Cristian Romero, left-back Destiny Udogie and winger Wilson Odobert are all back in contention for this weekend's derby.

Romero could be thrown straight back into the action in the heart of the defence, such is his influence on the team, but the Spurs boss may hold Udogie and Odobert back in reserve to come on later in the match as fresh legs down the left against Enzo Maresca's side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is expected to return between the sticks after needing some treatment in midweek while Micky van de Ven and Mohammed Kudus will also return to the starting line-up after being rested from it in the Carabao Cup defeat at Newcastle...
