The defender has been out of action since impressing in our 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford having suffered a knee issue, missing Monday night's win over Coventry as a precautionary measure.

Destiny will not be risked this weekend either as we make the trip to Chelsea on Saturday evening (kick-off 5.30pm UK) with Roberto revealing the full-back is still feeling discomfort in his knee, however he has suggested that our number 13 may be able return to action when we take on Crystal Palace next Saturday.

Speaking to us in his pre-match chat with SPURSPLAY, Roberto said, "Destiny still feels pain. Maybe next week he can be available."

Our Head Coach also provided an updated on defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who made his full Premier League debut for us as we picked up our first win over the campaign against Coventry on Monday.

The centre-back, who could face his former club this weekend, is a doubt for the game.

Roberto said, "Tosin, we have to see. We have not decided yet."

Meanwhile, on James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, who both made their respective comebacks against Coventry, Roberto said the duo will be available to play but he is not sure whether that will be from the start or from the substitutes' bench.

"I don't know if they start on the pitch or on the bench but they are both available to play. We have to manage both in the best way we can because they are different players, in qualities, in personality in experience, and we need them."
