Tottenham have finally shown some fight in their battle against relegation after earning a deserved draw away at Liverpool.
Igor Tudor’s side are also in the midst of an injury crisis, with a whole host of key names out as they battle to beat the drop.
Conor Gallagher failed to recover from illness to feature at Anfield on Sunday, adding to the list of Spurs players Tudor was without for the trip to Merseyside.
The draw follows Spurs’ 5-2 thrashing against Atletico Madrid, where two more players limped off late on at the Estadio Metropolitano.
Here’s all the latest Tottenham injury news and potential return dates...
Conor Gallagher
Conor Gallagher was already a doubt for the Premier League clash at Anfield after Spurs interim head coach Igor Tudor revealed in the pre-match press conference on Friday that midfielder had been suffering with a fever.
While Tudor was confident of having the January signing from Atletico Madrid available for selection, Gallagher did not make the matchday squad on Sunday, thus making it THIRTEEN senior Tottenham players unavailable for selection and it was revealed ahead of kick-off that he was not feeling good in the morning.
There is yet to be a further update on Gallagher, and he could be a doubt for Tottenham’s next fixture against Atletico on Wednesday night in the Champions League last-16 second leg.

Cristian Romero
Club captain Cristian Romero was ruled out of the trip to Anfield with a concussion that he sustained late on against Atletico Madrid.
The defender suffered a nasty clash of heads in the Spanish capital and tried to soldier on, but was forced off by medical staff just before the full-time whistle.
Tudor confirmed that the centre-back would not play against Liverpool, but said that there was hope he could return for the second leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this week.

Joao Palhinha
Portuguese midfielderJoao Palhinha was another concussion concern following the defeat in Madrid.
The Bayern Munich loanee was brought off earlier than Romero at the Metropolitano, but he was also ruled out of the Liverpool fixture by Tudor.
The Croat said that Palhinha would “for sure” be back for the visit of Forest this weekend, or perhaps even the second leg against Atleti on Tuesday.

Yves Bissouma
Tudor has also confirmed in the pre-Liverpool press conference that Yves Bissouma would miss the trip to Anfield.
“Micky is also out. Bissouma is out,” Tudor said.
There has been no further update on the midfielder who had been an ever-present under the Spurs head coach in the Premier League.
Potential return date: Unknown
Lucas Bergvall
Lucas Bergvall is still recovering from ankle surgery that he underwent at the end of January.
It is unlikely that he will be back until after the March international break.
Previously, there have been reports in Sweden that Bergvall could be back for their World Cup play-off against Ukraine at the end of this month.
However, there has been no update on his comeback from Spurs.
Potential return date: April
Mohammed Kudus
Summer signing Mohammed Kudus will not return until after the international break at the end of the month.
The Ghanaian has been sidelined since sustaining a hamstring issue against Sunderland in January, just days after Brennan Johnson left for Crystal Palace.
The winger has been out for an extended period, but Spurs are likely to have him back for their run-in as they look to avoid the drop.
Potential return date: April

Dejan Kulusevski
Sweden international Dejan Kulusevski’s situation still remains unclear.
The winger has been sat on the sidelines for almost a year with a patella injury that he sustained before the Europa League final.
He has previously shared videos of himself in the gym on social media undergoing rehabilitation, it remains to be seen when he will make a return to action.
In February, Tudor was unsure if the forward would feature at all this term.
"We hope so, in this moment we don't know,” Tudor said. “He's had really big problems. But he's positive. And also the doctors are positive. So we'll see, next week, how it's going.”
Potential return date: Unknown

Bentancur is another player who will not return until after the March international break.
Bentancur has been out since suffering a hamstring at Bournemouth in January and the midfielder underwent surgery.

Potential return date: Unknown
