Lots and lots of absentees for Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night, when they visit AFC Bournemouth for the final midweek Premier League fixture. We start with Rodrigo Bentancur who will serve the third of his seven-game suspension for domestic competition.
Elsewhere, moving on from Bentancur, Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Guglielmo Vicario (major ankle injury), Micky van de Ven (hamstring problem) and Richarlison (also a hamstring problem) are all ruled out here.

Mikey Moore (unspecified illness) is a strong doubt, at the least, and will likely not recover in time.
However, the news is better for Cristian Romero, whose toe injury should not keep him out for an extended period of time, we’re told. It still could be serious enough to keep him out of this next match.
You also have two players who could be cleared if they pass late fitness tests in Dominic Solanke (unspecified illness) and Archie Gray (a slight knock on the thigh).
