Tottenham Hotspur still have an opportunity to qualify for the UEFA Champions League knockout round, but first and foremost they will need to win tomorrow night at Wembley Stadium against Inter Milan. Then, on top of this, they will have to produce a result at FC Barcelona on UCL match day six which is superior to what Inter do against PSV Eindhoven in group finale.
Yes, their odds are ultimately very long, but they still have a chance. Inter took the reverse fixture in Italy 2-1, so Spurs know what a formidable task lies ahead on Wednesday. That’s said, let’s take a look at Tottenham’s injury situation for this one.
Midfielder Mousa Dembele is out with an ankle injury. Defenders Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier are both doubts due to groin injuries. Another defender, Davinson Sanchez is out due to a hamstring problem. Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino could have a selection headache in the back line to deal with.
