Preparing themselves to face APOEL Nicosia in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, Tottenham will have to make do without some of their key players, such as Delle Alli and Jan Vertonghen, due to suspension.
On top of the two regular starters, Danny Rose, Victor Wanyama and Mousa Dembélé are also expected to miss the game with injuries while Christian Eriksen fell ill and failed to travel.
While Mauricio Pochettino has made it clear injuries shouldn’t be an excuse, the Argentine manager will take some solace in the fact their opponents will also be without some important players.
A regular starter this season, APOEL’s Lorenzo Ebecilio was ruled out of the game, adding to a growing list of concerns for Georgios Donis.
The Dutch forward, who helped his side with two assists in their Champions League qualification, will likely be joining Georgios Efrem, Facundo Bertoglio and Zhivko Milanov in the GSP Stadium stands, according to Marca.
As for who is likely to start, Politis believe top scorer Igor de Camargo will be leading the line with Esfstathios Aloneftis and Roland Sallai on either side of him in Donis’ favoured 4-2-3-1 formation.
