DJed Spence is set to play in Tottenham's final match of the season despite suffering a broken jaw in a recent loss to Chelsea. The defender, who was injured in a clash with Liam Delap, will wear a specially designed protective mask in the crucial match against Everton, according to Goal.com.

Spence's Determination to Return

According to The Athletica, Spence was diagnosed with a broken jaw after being struck by Delap's knee during a match against Chelsea. The incident immediately raised concerns among the team's medical staff. Spence later posted a video of the incident on social media, accompanied by several smiling emojis.

In spite of the severity of his injury, the former Middlesbrough player has decided to help the team of Robert De Zerbi in their final match. The medical team is preparing a protective mask, a common practice for players who wish to return quickly after facial injuries.

Tottenham's Battle for Survival

Tottenham faces Everton in a crucial match as they fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League. The news of Spence's availability has greatly boosted the team's morale.

Spence's importance to the team, having played 43 matches this season, has grown significantly given the team's extensive injury list. Key players such as Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, Xavi Simons, and Christian Romero are currently sidelined.

Tottenham enters the final match in direct competition with West Ham United for survival in the Premier League. While "The Hammers" must defeat Leeds United to have any chance of staying up, knowing that even a win doesn't guarantee safety, Spurs are in a much stronger position.

Tottenham needs a win at home against Everton to secure their Premier League status mathematically. However, given their slight advantage in goal difference, even a draw would likely be sufficient to ensure their top-flight status.

Tottenham's Historical Season

Despite losing to Chelsea in their previous match, Tottenham's chances of survival have been boosted by West Ham's defeat to Newcastle United. This result has given Spurs a significant opportunity to avoid relegation for the first time since 1977. This challenging battle for survival comes in a historic season for north London, where their fierce rivals Arsenal won the league title for the first time since 2004.
