Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso have been included in the Tottenham Hotspur lineup to face Norwich City this afternoon.
As Jose Mourinho told BBC Sport, Ndombele asked not to play in the Boxing Day win over Brighton & Hove Albion because of fears over his fitness.

However, the Frenchman has been recalled for the trip to Carrow Road to cover for the suspended Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko in midfield.
Giovani Lo Celso is also included for his first Premier League start under Mourinho after a decent cameo against Brighton, preferred to Eric Dier.
Pre-match injury concern Dele Alli, Ryan Sessegnon and Christian Eriksen are also named in an attacking lineup, Jose allowing Lucas Moura a rest.
Davinson Sanchez also gets a breather, with Juan Foyth starting – I hope as a defensive midfielder in a 4-2-3-1, but more likely as part of a back three.
It is fair to say these Spurs fans on Twitter are thrilled with Jose’s selection…

Ahem ….
How have Chelsea lost 3 home matches without scoring a goal in the last couple of weeks yet went to the nameless space mall and win easily??
Something’s not right here….
These Xmas fixtures. Levy gets Brighton and Norwich, and tommorow Arsenal and Chelsea play each other, Wolves are away at Scousers(after having City) and Sheff Utd are away to City.
Literally couldn’t pick more advantageous fixtures for them and their rivals.

It’s different. Thrilled? Yea why not. Club signing and a half decent bloke in midfield. Harry leading the line again. Top man he is. Fingers cross they click from the off.
