With Ryan Sessegnon already on the treatment table, that leaves the Lilywhites quite thin, especially in the two wing-back areas.

While Stellini did confirm in his press conference on Friday (Football.London) that Ivan Perisic is expected to be fit for the clash against the Toffees, the home side still have only two fit wing-backs in the form of the Croat and Pedro Porro.

It appears that one way that the interim Spurs head coach plans to solve the problem is by potentially using Paskotsi, with the 20-year-old being spotted training with the first team over recent days at Hotspur Way.

Although the Estonian international is a centre-back by trade, he can also operate as a right-back and has played in that position for Tottenham during pre-season friendlies.

While Perisic and Porro look set to start on Monday, Stellini and Mason could call up a full-back from the academy set up to name on the bench in case there are any injuries.

There is also the option of potentially deploying Lucas as a right wing-back if push comes to shove.
