Spurs are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the season and possibly leapfrog the Gunners into the 1st position before Man City play on Sunday.
But it now looks like Conte might be without Kulusevski, after he reported back to London with a tight hamstring on Wednesday.
In the report, the Swede underwent a scan at their training base after he complained of a muscle issue.
The winger started both of Sweden’s Nations League fixtures during the international break against Slovenia and Serbia.
Should he miss the derby, Heung-Min Son and Richarlison can be expected to provide support for Harry Kane in attack.
