– The forward was forced to withdraw in the first-half of Tottenham’s crucial 2-1 UEFA Champions League win over Marseille earlier this month with what was later discovered to be a fractured eye. He’s since undergone surgery but remained a doubt for the World Cup.
– Providing he doesn’t pick up further injury before the start of the competition, he will be leading his team out against Uruguay on November 24.
