Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro is a serious doubt for Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Liverpool at Anfield.
The right-back was absent from his side's game against Everton on Saturday due to a muscle injury, and while he is not expected to be ruled out for a prolonged period, Archie Gray is set to continue in the XI .
Antonin Kinsky will be hopeful of retaining his place in goal, and he could be protected by centre-backs Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi.
Left-back Andrew Robertson is aiming to make an emotional return to Anfield having spent nine years at Liverpool.
