Things are looking much better on the injury front for Tottenham Hotspur. But that does not mean they are completely free of injury issues just yet.
Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero returned to the squad for Thursday's limp Europa League clash at AZ Alkmaar, although neither got on the pitch from the substitutes' bench. Wilson Odobert is back in action, while Timo Werner is also available.
It means Ange Postecoglou has some welcome selection decisions to make, something he has not had in recent months. The first decision he needs to make is who does not deserve a place in the starting XI after the limp and lifeless display against AZ Alkmaar on Tuesday night.
Spurs turned in a woeful performance to lose 1-0 in the Netherlands, giving them it all to do in the second leg at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next week. It has also added further pressure on Postecoglou's shoulders.
Focus returns to the Premier League this Sunday, with Bournemouth the visitors to the capital and Spurs will be looking to close the gap to the top ten with a victory against Adoni Iraloa's side. More than that, however, it will be an opportunity to get minutes in the legs of returning players.
Despite players coming back from injury, however, a number remain sidelined. Richarlison is out of action, although he could be back before the international break. Radu Dragusin is obviously missing, having been ruled out for the rest of the campaign, while Dejan Kulusevski is the new name on the treatment table.
His foot injury will keep him out until after the international break, which, having been arguably Spurs' best player this season, is a big blow for Postecoglou.
Those three are definitely out and there are question marks over Dominic Solanke , who went off injured on his return from injury against AZ on Thursday. Ben Davies is also a doubt.
Postecoglou said on Friday : "With Dom, obviously it's a knee going into the backside so a bit sore but it's a knock so hopefully he'll be back pretty quickly.
"We're not really sure [with Ben Davies]. He's training at the moment so we will see how he feels. He's definitely progressed and he feels good so let's see how he goes in the next 24 to 48 hours. He's a chance but we'll see how he goes."
