Hugo Lloris - Two saves in win Lloris had two saves and allowed zero goals in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Morocco.

Impact Lloris is headed back to the World Cup final and he does it with what was his first clean sheet of the tournament. This isn't the 2018 version of France that seemed to never concede, but Lloris still captains a ridiculously talented side. Lloris has made 10 saves and conceded four goals in five World Cup matches, and will be looking for a second straight World Cup win in the final against Argentina.

Cristian Romero - Five clearances for clean sheet Romero registered one tackle (one won) and five clearances in Tuesday's 3-0 victory versus Croatia. In addition, he made two blocks and was given a yellow card in the 68th minute.

Impact Romero helped key an outstanding defensive effort for his Argentinian side and paced his squad in clearances. The clean sheet was his second of this World Cup, and he'll hope to garner one more result during the finals this upcoming Sunday.

Ivan Perisic - Five crosses in loss Perisic had three shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Argentina.

Impact Perisic once again paced his squad in crosses and was one of the most dangerous Croatian attackers throughout this World Cup. Unfortunately, his team's efforts will fall short of the ultimate prize, but the winger can hold his head high knowing he left it all on the pitch. He'll soon return to his usual role as a key piece on the flank for Spurs when EPL play returns on Boxing Day.

Ben Davies - Returns to training Davies (abdomen) was pictured in training with Tottenham on Tuesday.

Impact Davies was considered a doubt to be fit in time for Spurs' Boxing Day clash against Brentford after picking up an abdominal injury in Wales' World Cup defeat against England, but his return to training on Tuesday is a good sign of his progress.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Back with club Hojbjerg returned to training with Tottenham on Tuesday following the World Cup.

Impact Hojbjerg played every minute of Denmark's failed campaign in Qatar, taking two shots (one on target) and creating a chance across three matches as the team crashed out in the group stage. He's now back with Spurs, where he has started 20 of 21 matches in the Premier League and Champions League this season.

Johnson, Spurs hold off Mitchell, Cavs to win 3rd in row

Richarlison - Picks up hamstring issue Richarlison sustained a hamstring injury during Brazil's World Cup defeat to Croatia and could be sidelined for "at least a month," according to the Evening Standard.

Impact Richarlison apparently developed the issue in warmups prior to the Croatia match but still gutted out 84 minutes while not appearing completely agile. He'll likely miss Spurs' Boxing Day matchup, and forthcoming scans should reveal a clearer return timeline. The injury is a tough blow for Tottenham, who enter the second half of the season with a few lingering injury questions. In any case, fellow forward Harry Kane can now all but forget about being rested much on the heels of a deep run in Qatar.

Rodrigo Bentancur - Suspended after fifth yellow card Bentancur (adductor) will miss the Dec. 26 match against Brentford due to yellow card accumulation, according to Rob Guest of Football London.

Impact Bentancur was already in recovery from a torn adductor suffered at the World Cup and will get some extra time to regain his fitness. Yves Bissouma and Oliver Skipp are two options to replace Bentancur in the lineup for that Boxing Day matchup.

Hugo Lloris - Concedes one penalty in win Lloris conceded one penalty goal and made six saves during Saturday's 2-1 win over England.

Impact Lloris was fortunate not to be beaten by two Harry Kane penalties as the second attempt was skied in the 84th minute. He's conceded just one goal in four straight matches but so long as the attack continues its fine form, Lloris is in good shape to be productive on his own.

Harry Kane - Scores penalty, misses another Kane scored one penalty goal from five shots (four on goal, one missed penalty) during Saturday's 2-1 loss to France.

Impact Kane picked up the scoring pace during the knockout rounds, scoring twice in the last two games but also missing a decisive penalty late into the second half Saturday. Even with the intense pressure, don't expect Kane to suffer too much when he returns to Tottenham for the rest of the league season.
