Delaney, who has been sidelined since the middle of November with a broken metatarsal, said: "I'm jogging again, but am still limping a little bit, which obviously means things aren't quite right yet.
I've got a few days to go before the Liverpool game but I can't see me making it. If I said I'd be ready and built myself up for it and then didn't make it, it would only make me even more depressed.
"It's getting a bit tedious now, getting so close and yet not being able to play but I'd say I'll definitely make the Spurs game."
