Roberto De Zerbi may receive a couple of big injury boosts ahead of Tottenham\u2019s clash against Leeds United on Monday night.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back-to-back away wins over Wolves and Aston Villa have taken Tottenham out of the bottom three for the first time in a while.<\/p>\n

Spurs are now big favourites to stay up<\/a>, according to Opta\u2019s Supercomputer, but Roberto De Zerbi<\/a> will be aware that the job is not yet done.<\/p>\n

With league leaders Arsenal playing West Ham on Sunday, Spurs<\/a> could have an opportunity to open up a four-point gap on the Hammers with a win over Leeds on Monday.<\/p>\n

\"GuglielmoCredit: @thefrederikkejensen \/ InstagramGuglielmo Vicario and James Maddison could return for Tottenham against Leeds<\/p>\n

The Evening Standard<\/a> has now revealed that Guglielmo Vicario could be available for selection against Leeds after sitting out the first four games under De Zerbi.<\/p>\n

The Italian goalkeeper has been recovering after a hernia operation, with Antonin Kinsky<\/a> impressing in his absence, but the 29-year-old could be in line to return to the starting eleven.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it is suggested that James Maddison could also be set to feature against Daniel Farke\u2019s side, after being an unused substitute in Tottenham\u2019s last three games.<\/p>\n

The pair are both part of Spurs\u2019 leadership group<\/a>, and their return would thus add a lot to the Lilywhites as they fight to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n

Doubts regarding the availability of the Spurs striker<\/p>\n

Roberto De Zerbi made it clear that neither Van de Ven nor Bentancur suffered any injuries against Villa<\/a>, and The Standard now confirms that the centre-back and the midfielder are fit to feature against Leeds.<\/p>\n

However, the outlet reveals that there is still some uncertainty over the return date of Dominic Solanke, who remains a doubt for Monday\u2019s clash.<\/p>\n

The report suggests, however, that Cristian Romero is not expected to be fit until June, and we could thus have seen the last of the Tottenham captain this season.<\/p>\n

None of Ben Davies, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert and Xavi Simons will play again this season, with many of them nursing long-term injuries.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
