Bench option
Sarr (shoulder) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Sunderland.
Analysis: Sarr is back fit after an injury scare during the international break, missing no time with his club as he is on the bench Sunday. He has started in 13 of his 22 appearances this season and will likely remain more of a rotational pick moving forward, seeing more time this season due to constant injuries in the team.
Pictured in team training
Sarr was pictured back in team training Friday but was wearing support on his injured shoulder, leaving his availability for Sunday's clash against Sunderland uncertain, the club posted.
Analysis: Sarr had picked up a shoulder injury during Senegal's international fixtures, and while his presence on the training pitch is an encouraging sign, the protective support suggests he is not yet fully clear. The Senegalese midfielder is a locked-in starter for Tottenham this season and his role under new coach Roberto De Zerbi shouldn't change much, though the club will assess him carefully during the final training session before making a final call on his involvement against the Black Cats. Conor Gallagher remains on standby to step in if Sarr cannot be risked for Sunday.
