Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood won't guarantee selection for Sandro ahead of their meeting with Stoke City.
Sandro is keen to face Stoke midfielder Charlie Adam after their clash earlier this season.
"There are people ahead of him in the squad and I'll have to assess it," Sherwood said.
"We'll train again today and he's trained well all week. He's a good trainer but he's got certain attributes that we require at certain times and other players have got other attributes that I need for different games.
"We've been dominating the football in most of our games recently and I think other people are ahead of him in regards to that."
