Thomas Frank has positive news ahead of the huge clash against Chelsea in the Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday (5.30pm).

Skipper Cristian Romero, full-back Destiny Udogie and forward Wilson Odobert are all available after injury.

Cuti has missed our last four matches after picking up an adductor strain that initially ruled him out during the warm up against Villa on 19 October. Destiny last featured at Leeds on 4 October, picking up irritation in his knee on international duty. Wilson missed the Carabao Cup tie at Newcastle in midweek with a side strain.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference at Hotspur Way after training on Friday, Thomas was asked specifically about Cuti, Destiny and Wilson's fitness. He said: "The positive is that Romero, Destiny and Wilson will all be available for the squad."

Asked later about Cuti's fitness levels - and if it was a 'rushed decision' for a big game - Thomas added: "I’m very aware of trying to be able to take the best possible decisions. Of course, in the end, I'll get a lot of information from medical staff, performance staff but in the end, it's always on me. If a player breaks down, it's on me. It's not on the medical staff, it's always on me. I take decisions, I get all the information and then I need to take a difficult choice or a brave choice or an easy choice or decision. So, that's it. If he was fit enough, he would have been involved Wednesday. So, he's ready to be involved tomorrow and let's see how much.”
