Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is happy to have Cristian Romero available for tonight's clash with West Ham.

Romero is back after suspension.

Postecoglou said: "Great to have him back because he's the only recognised centre-half fit at the moment because Micky van de Ven, Eric Dier and Ashley Phillips are all out so to have him back is obviously good.

"He's also fantastic player, a leader in group. We lost Madders and him after the Chelsea game so a lot of that [leadership responsibility] fell on Sonny's shoulders so from that perspective good to have him back. I've not had to have a word with about discipline. It's part of who he is as a player, he brings a physicality to it.

"When he oversteps mark the whole group pays a price so it's up to him to maintain discipline I know he can show. But more importantly he's such a strong presence on the field and in during the week so good to have him back."
