Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero both remain sidelined following the fresh injuries they sustained against Chelsea, while Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison and Guglielmo Vicario are not due to return until 2025.
The Spurs boss recently revealed that Ben Davies could return before the New Year after his hamstring injury was not as bad as first feared.
Postecoglou told Football London: “From the other night, Destiny no injury but he is still sore from the game. Not ruling him out but will see how he is with the turnaround.
“I think both [Romero and Van de Ven] will be in the new year. Not as significant an injury as last time with Micky but obviously having a setback the medical team is going to make sure he is right to go.
“Mikey is back in training. The next cabs off the rank are Mikey and Ben Davies potentially next week and Richarlison potentially first week of the new year.”
