A host of Tottenham stars trained on Friday ahead of Saturday's clash with Liverpool, but injured duo Hugo Lloris and Dele Alli were both missing from the session.
Spurs face Jurgen Klopp's table-toppers in the midday kick-off, looking to land an early blow against their top-four rivals.
But they will have to do so without key pair Lloris and Alli after both missed training again ahead of the match.

Midfielder Alli will miss picked up a hamstring injury on international duty, and is also a major doubt for Tottenham's Champions League opener away to Inter Milan next Tuesday.
Under-fire captain Hugo Lloris is also out for several weeks due to a thigh strain.
In better news for Pochettino, Son Heung-min returned to training on Thursday after his Asia Cup exploits, and the South Korean also took part in Friday's session.
Son, who will contend with Lucas Moura for a place in the Spurs team, was joined in the session by the likes of Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen following their respective feats with England and Denmark over the past week.
The trio took part in shooting exercises and shuttle sprints overseen by manager Pochettino, while Lloris' potential replacement on Saturday, Michel Vorm, saved shots in a separate drill for goalkeepers.
England captain Kane was later pictured passing the ball as part of a rondo drill with the likes of Erik Lamela and Eric Dier.

Midfield talent Harry Winks was another to take part in the session following his return from a lengthy layoff, and earlier on Friday Pochettino suggested the youngster had the potential to be England's answer to Xavi or Andres Iniesta.
'Harry has all the profile of the midfielder - perfect,' Pochettino said. 'But I don't want to talk too much and praise him because if so, his head (grows big). His perception will be "wow" and the reality is you still need to prove it.
'But the characteristics are perfect to play football. When we talk about midfielders, you like to use Spanish midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta. He's like this type of player, this capacity, but please he needs to take in a very positive way my words. He needs a lot of work.
'He has the possibility and the potential of course but now it is up to him and we go again: mentality. In his mind he is capable to learn about suffer, there never is enough training, always try to be better. Football is his focus, not business that are around football.
'Maybe (if he learns this) he will arrive to play in a very good level and be one of the best midfielders in England. It is not my advice, it is only how I describe the reality. If he wants to take it, take it. If people don't want to take it, we cannot help. But of course his potential is to be a very, very good player for England and Tottenham.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
