Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has confirmed that Son Heung-min and Richarlison will be available for their clash against West Ham on Saturday. Spurs will be looking to return to winning ways after the disappointing 3-2 defeat at Brighton before the international break.

Postecoglou's side had won their previous five matches in all competitions and were on course to make that six on the bounce after easing into a 2-0 lead at the Amex Stadium earlier this month. However, Brighton staged a remarkable second-half comeback to win 3-2 and condemn Spurs to a shock defeat.

After a two-week hiatus, Spurs are back in action when they host West Ham and Postecoglou will be boosted with the return of Son and Richarlison. The Aussie has revealed that the duo will be in contention to face the Hammers after recovering from their respective issues during the international period.

Son has missed the last three matches with a hamstring problem and didn't feature for South Korea in their recent victories over Jordan and Iraq. Postecoglou said: "Sonny is good and worked hard last two weeks. Good for him the two weeks, he's had a solid week and looking to get back out there."

Meanwhile, Richarlison has been out since August with a calf injury but is back in contention. "We’ve taken our time with Richy and we have taken time to build his fitness base up," Postecoglou admitted. "He has worked hard, trimmed down and looks lean now. He's good to go now."

Lucas Bergvall picked up a knock while on international duty with Sweden but Postecoglou confirmed there are "no problems" with the midfielder. Cristian Romero, Pape Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma are back and fit after playing for their respective countries late in the international break.

When asked on Romero's fitness, Postecoglou added: "He's okay. We've got everyone back and the last one was Cristian, Pape and Biss. They are all good and reported well. We've got the early kick-off, so that's a quick turnaround but we trained this morning and they were all fine."
