From the source

Tottenham Hotspur have been plagued by injury problems for the past two seasons. Roberto De Zerbi has had to juggle his resources to navigate through the injury situation in recent weeks.

The Spurs boss has been unable to consistently call upon his first-choice full-back pairing this season, with Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie starting together just once in all competitions.

The North Londoners have been cautious with Destiny Udogie this season given his injury history, and after missing the last two games with a minor knee issue, he will be fit to face Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.
