Tottenham are now preparing for Thursday night’s Europa League quarter-final first leg with Eintracht Frankfurt. Spurs have just one avenue remaining to qualify for Europe next season, and that is to win this competition.
It will be no easy feat for a side that has struggled for form all season, but if they can reach the semi-finals, they will feel as though anything can happen, with upsets aplenty running right through this competition on an annual basis. Frankfurt, who have won the Europa League in recent times, are currently third in Bundesliga, but they have lost two of their last three games.
They too have had some injury issues, and they go into this game without a fair few players, though they do have a very big squad, something Tottenham can learn a thing or two from. Ahead of this game, it’s worth noting that Postecoglou has said the following about Destiny Udogie, Richarlison and Micky van de Ven, who did not play over the weekend: “Yeah Destiny and Micky are fine. They have missed a lot of football this year so it made sense to put them on ice today.
"Richy is good. We've kind of done this with a few of the boys coming back and getting them involved in the matchday and the possibility of him getting a run today, but I just thought when they're involved in matchday it gets rid of a lot of the nerves of coming back or anxiety from coming back from a long time out. He'll get a few more days in training and play a part from now on."
Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding Tottenham and Eintracht Frankfurt going into the first leg.
Can Uzun - Doubt
Uzun has been struggling with illness but should be okay to return for this one.
Ansgar Knauff - Doubt
Knauff will be a doubt with a knee injury, likely return either on Thursday or over the weekend.
Krisztian Lisztes - Doubt
Lisztes is another who has been battling illness but could return.
Eba Bekir Is - Out
Bekir is out until mid-May with a knee injury and could be out for the season.
Dina Ebimbe - Doubt
Ebimbe has been struggling with an abdominal issue and will be a doubt.
Elye Wahi - Out
Frankfurt will be without one of their most dangerous players here, with Wahi out until May with a knee issue.
Kevin Trapp - Doubt
Starting keeper Trapp has a calf issue and will be a doubt.
Timothy Chandler - Out
Chandler is sidelined until later this month with a hip issue.
Ellyes Skhiri - Out
Skhiri is out until May with a knee injury.
Radu Dragusin - Out
Dragusin is out for the season with an ACL injury. Postecoglou confirmed at the time: “Radu underwent surgery today following his ACL injury. That procedure has now been completed, and the centre-back will now commence with his recovery before beginning the rehab process.”
Dejan Kulusevski - Out
This one will come too soon for Kulusevski, who has been out with an ankle injury. Postecoglou said last week: “Kevin and Deki are working hard still. They’re probably a couple of weeks away, but both are progressing well.”
The same update applies to Danso, who has been out with a hamstring issue.
