Mousa Dembele is unlikely to feature for Tottenham in their Europa League Group J fixture at Lazio, despite travelling with the squad.
The Belgian midfielder has overcome a hip injury, but Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas says he will not play.
Steven Caulker has overcome the knee injury that ruled him out of Saturday's 5-2 defeat to Arsenal.
Scott Parker (Achilles), Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Younes Kaboul (both knee) are out.
Brad Friedel has been left in London, so Hugo Lloris will start in goal.
Lazio defender Andre Dias is out for a month following an injury picked up in the goalless draw with Juventus, while midfielder Ederson has a thigh muscle tear and is out for a few weeks.
Tottenham, who have lost four of their last five games, are second in the group with six points, two behind Lazio.
The Italian side can qualify for the last 32 with a win over Spurs.
Provisional squad: Lloris, Cudicini, Naughton, Walker, Caulker, Gallas, Dawson, Vertonghen, Livermore, Huddlestone, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Bale, Mason, Dembele, Carroll, Townsend, Dempsey, Defoe, Adebayor.
