Micky van de Ven is set to return to Tottenham's squad for the first time since December 8, with Ange Postecoglou facing a decision over whether to start the Dutch centre-half against IF Elfsborg in the Europa League.

Regardless Van de Ven will play some part in a major boost to depleted Spurs, who will be without eight players through injury, with Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon and Antonin Kinsky ineligible.

Brandon Austin will again deputise for Kinsky in goal and, if Van de Ven is on the bench, Postecoglou's back four picks itself.

Pape Matar Sarr has been carrying a knock and may not be risked from the start but Yves Bissouma is fit to return to the midfield.

Richarlison is also unlikely to start again after feeling his groin against Leicester last weekend, with Mikey Moore poised to start and Heung-min Son the likeliest candidate to play through the middle.
