Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is confident they have enough depth to cover for the injured Jan Vertonghen.
Given that they face Liverpool, Southampton and Manchester United over the next few weeks, Spurs need to have all their best players fit, but Villas-Boas is sure he will have enough cover in defence over the festive period.
"Etienne Capoue had an excellent performance against Sunderland, Vlad (Chiriches) could be back on Sunday so we still have enough cover," Villas-Boas said.
"In extreme situations we have Sandro and Kyle Walker, who have played in that position before too."
