Leeds winger Dan James will be absent for a few weeks after suffering an ankle injury in training, while Harry Gray - brother of Spurs' Archie - is a doubt for Saturday's contest with a hip problem.
Sean Longstaff will retain his place in the engine room, and Karl Darlow will continue between the sticks as Lucas Perri has only just returned to first-team training.
As for Spurs, Dominic Solanke recently underwent ankle surgery and will join the likes of James Maddison, Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai, Yves Bissouma and Dejan Kulusevski in the treatment room.
Randal Kolo Muani will be hopeful of featuring this weekend as he has a dead leg and will be assessed prior to kick-off.

Leeds vs Tottenham Hotspur Stats
- Leeds have drawn three of their seven matches this season
- Spurs have shared the spoils in three of the last four matches in all competitions
Match Result - Draw @ 12/5
Tottenham made a bright start to life under Thomas Frank, but things seem to have plateaued slightly in recent weeks.
Since the 1-0 over Villarreal in September, Spurs have shared the spoils in three of their last four matches across all competitions, and an ever-growing injury list isn't helping matters.
A scrappy affair in Norway on Tuesday could also have an effect on the side, so the draw certainly appeals at 12/5.
Leeds have made a decent start to the season after their promotion from the Championship, and will start the weekend in 12th spot in the table. Daniel Farke's men have drawn three of their seven matches this term, so backing another stalemate here looks a sensible play.

Player Assists a Goal - Mohammed Kudus @ 5/1
Former West Ham United man Mohammed Kudus has impressed since his big-money move from the London Stadium in the summer, and looks a cracking price to register an assist this weekend.
The 25-year-old has recorded four assists across six Premier League games so far this season, picking up two against Burnley in Spurs' opening fixture, and a pair against Brighton and Hove Albion a fortnight ago.
Kudus ranks eighth in the division for chances created (12), so the Spurs man looks poised to make an impact on Saturday.
