Igor Tudor has been speaking ahead of Tottenham's Premier League trip across London to face Fulham on Sunday

Igor Tudor has confirmed that Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso will be fit to face Fulham.

The Tottenham duo have recently been missing with hamstring and toe injuries, respectively, but they are in line to feature in Sunday's London derby at Craven Cottage.

The Croatian has also provided a positive update on Micky van de Ven, who missed training at Hotspur Way on Wednesday.

Tudor said: "Yes [Porro and Danso are back and available]. It's small problem for Micky in his small finger, but he’s okay."

Spurs will seek to record their first win under their new interim boss and they're also out for revenge after losing 2-1 at home to Fulham back in November.

Captain Cristian Romero remains suspended and will not return to the fold until Tottenham's trip to Liverpool next month.

Tudor was also asked about the availability of Dejan Kulusevski as Sweden boss Graham Potter claimed earlier this week that he hoped to have both 'Deki' and Alexander Isak fit for next month's World Cup play-off semi-final against Ukraine.

The former Juventus, Lazio and Marseille boss said on the 25-year-old: "We hope so but in this moment we don't know."

Dominic Solanke has also trained this week after starting on the bench against Arsenal due to a sore throat.

Tudor was also asked for his assessment now the dust has settled following the 4-1 North London Derby defeat.

In his view, not much has changed and Spurs need to continue working to obtain results, he added: "It's very tough but I don't change my opinion, it's about daily work. We need to be focused on us, what we can do, less thinking about others, that's always good.

"I don't think too much about the draw, it doesn't change for me nothing. It's a beautiful competition to play, the problem is the lack of numbers.

"It's not also about spending physical energy but also mental energy because every league game is a final for us."

He remarked when quizzed on Sunday's opponents: "Fulham are a very serious team. It's difficult to beat them."
