Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dejan Kulusevski is back in training and close to full fitness while Lucas Moura is set to return against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League today, manager Antonio Conte said.
Kulusevski has not featured for Spurs since picking up a hamstring injury on international duty with Sweden last month, with Moura also a long-term absentee due to a calf problem.
"I don't want to take a risk because Deki is an important player for us. It would be stupid... against Everton I think he will be able to play." A win against Eintracht at home will move Conte's side, who have four points from three games, a step closer to qualification for the last 16. The Germans are level on points but behind on goal difference.
"It is difficult for everybody, to play every three days is a big effort. We have to manage the situation in the best way possible," added the Italian.
