The Lilywhites failed to cling onto a one-goal advantage against West Ham United in midweek, drawing 1-1 with their London rivals as Brennan Johnson's opener was cancelled out by Kurt Zouma.
However, with Aston Villa suffering a heavy loss at Manchester City the following evening, Ange Postecoglou's men are in charge of their Champions League destiny, sitting just two points below the Lions with a match in hand.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with Forest, who boosted their survival chances with a brilliant 3-1 win over Fulham last time out.
Richarlison
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: April 13 (vs. Newcastle United)
Richarlison is yet to start for Tottenham since recovering from a knee issue, and Postecoglou revealed on Friday that the Brazilian would be rested this week in order to let the problem heal completely.
Brennan Johnson
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: April 7 (vs. Nottingham Forest)
After justifying his recall to the starting lineup against West Ham with the opening goal, Johnson had to be taken off at the end of the 90 with a slight knock, but Postecoglou does not think that the issue will be severe enough to rule him out of Sunday's match against his former club.
Fraser Forster
Status: Out
Type of injury: Foot
Possible return date: April 28 (vs. Arsenal)
Fraser Forster is still on the mend after sustaining a foot fracture in training in February, but should his rehabilitation go to plan, he could be back in the ranks towards the end of the month.
Manor Solomon
Status: Out
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: Unknown
Manor Solomon has now undergone multiple operations to get to the bottom of a troublesome knee injury, and Postecoglou still cannot say when the attacker might be back in action.
Ryan Sessegnon
Status: Out
Type of injury: Hamstring
Possible return date: Unknown
The unfortunate Ryan Sessegnon had only just recovered from one severe injury before picking up a season-ending hamstring issue while playing for the Under-21s earlier this year, and the Englishman has months of rehabilitation ahead of him.
