Tarkowski in doubt for Everton's match against Tottenham

The Toffees, coming off a disappointing loss in their debut match of the season, are now preparing to face Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham in their next fixture.

But manager Sean Dyche admitted he may have to do without his veteran center half.

He told reporters that the injury was "a minor hamstring niggle that we have to be careful with".

Dyche is also without Nathan Patterson and Seamus Coleman, along with James Garner.

The Toffees have been linked with a late move for Newcastle United’s Kieran Trippier.
