Victor Wanyama looks set to be available for Tottenham’s London derby with West Ham, despite limping off during Kenya’s 3-0 win over Ethiopia on Sunday.

The Spurs midfielder scored from the spot as Kenya sealed qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 15 years, before hobbling off with a hamstring problem in the second half, though the issue is thought to be minor and not a real concern.

Mauricio Pochettino has had to contend with injuries to a number of key figures in recent weeks, with Dele Alli, Mousa Dembele and Christian Eriksen all missing games ahead of the international break.

Eriksen and Dembele could well return to the fold against the Hammers, also facing somewhat of a midfield shortage with injuries to Carlos Sanchez and Jack Wilshere, this weekend.

Pochettino will have a keen eye on England’s Uefa Nations League clash with Spain tonight as Eric Dier is expected to once again anchor the midfield, with Spurs teammate Harry Winks also set to start in Seville.
