Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo’s defensive problems will be eased with the news Cristian Romero and Davinson Sanchez will return to the UK in time for the crunch clash Chelsea.
South American contingent Romero, Sanchez and Giovani Lo Celso have been training in Croatia with a Spurs coach to avoid having to self-isolate for 10 days upon their return from international duty in red-list zones last week.
The trio are due to arrive back in England on Saturday, just 24 hours before their game against Chelsea.
Their returns come at a timely moment for Nuno, whose plans in central defence are unclear heading into the weekend.
