Igor Tudor has confirmed Kevin Danso and Pedro Porro are available to return for Tottenham against Fulham on Sunday.
Tudor has also revealed Micky van de Ven has a “small problem” with his little finger, but the Spurs centre-back is fit for the trip to Craven Cottage.
Spurs are still battling an injury crisis as they bid to climb away from relegation danger but they have been boosted by the fitness of Danso and Porro.
Danso has missed four games with a torn ligament in his big toe, while Porro has missed the last five games with a hamstring injury.

But both players were pictured training on Wednesday and Tudor has confirmed they are fit to face Fulham.
Speaking on Thursday, Tudor said: “Yes, that's right (Danso and Porro are back).
“No other issues. Small problems for Micky with his small finger, I think. But he is okay, he will be (available).”
Tudor says Spurs are unsure whether Dejan Kulusevski will play this season, having missed the entire campaign with the patella injury he sustained at the end of last season.
"We hope so, in this moment we don't know,” said Tudor.
"I know him from Juventus. Fantastic player, fantastic guy. Difficult moment. He's had really big problems, but he's positive and also doctors are positive. So, we’ll see next week how it's going.
"I don't know (when Kulusevski or Destiny Udogie will be back). I don't know. When they come, they come."
Dominic Solanke is also fully fit again, having started on the bench for last weekend’s 4-1 defeat to Arsenal after struggling with a sore throat.
Lucas Bergvall, Mohammed Kudus, and Rodrigo Bentancur are among the long-term absentees for Spurs, who also remain without captain Cristian Romero due to suspension.
Spurs are 16th in the Premier League and just four points above the relegation zone.
