It looks like Toby Alderweireld still isn’t fit enough to return to the fold as Tottenham welcome Swansea City to White Hart Lane.
The Belgian is recovering from a knee injury and misses out again. There is good news, though, as Danny Rose returns from suspension to replace Kevin Wimmer at left back.
Moussa Sissoko is back in the squad, but there’s no place in the 18 for Vincent Janssen.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to all the team news.

No Vincent Janssen at all for Spurs today, with one of our weakest benches for some time. Sissoko makes a return, big game this one! #COYS

As strong as we can get without Toby. Should be beating Swansea without him, though. https://t.co/6vbmdLrxqJ

Still no Toby #MinorInjury ?

Arguably one of Spurs weakest benches for sometime not enough real quality to change game if required to do so, down to the XI! #COYS#THFC

Neglected to mention Janssen's absence. Been a tough season with the last few weeks among the roughest. Work ahead for the Dutchman. #THFC

Feeling a @HKane hat-trick today. #COYS https://t.co/KVEElxbUuk

I've come to the conclusion that Gylfi Sigurdsson will score a penalty for Swansea today and they'll end up winning 1-0. Inevitable.
