Pedro Porro is set to miss out again for Tottenham when they take on Manchester United on Saturday.
Mykhailo Mudryk also remains sidelined for Spurs with boss Roberto De Zerbi unsure of when he could return.
“Porro and Mudryk are both not available,” De Zerbi confirmed.
“Pedro not for many games and Mudryk, maybe something more.”
James Maddison, meanwhile, is still carefully managing his fitness after suffering a recent setback.
“He’s available but he lost three/four days at the end of last week and start of this,” De Zerbi said.
“James is a special player for us. Gallagher is playing well in the No.10 role. We’re both frustrated because James wants to be on the pitch.
“Not a big injury and tomorrow he can play but the Premier League is tough and you need to be fit and in the right condition to run and fight.
“He is working well and this is the way. The way is to complete three, four, five weeks in a row without feeling pain and problems and then he’s a normal player.”

There was more positive news on Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke, who both picked up knocks while playing for the Netherlands.
“They are available to play,” De Zerbi said.
“Micky played four games, 90 minutes and JP just three games. The difference is this.
“JP yesterday, his wife had twins and emotional aspect we have to consider but he’s available.”
Dejan Kulusevski will also travel with the squad in a support role as he continues his recovery from a long-term injury.
“He is working well,” De Zerbi said.
“Tomorrow he comes with us for support.
“He is working very well and I think he is an example for everyone. Forget the player but the example of how he reacts to the injury, the character he showed this time was an example and reference to everyone.”
