Tottenham Hotspur had three players missing from first-team training ahead of their Europa League clash with Frankfurt.
Ange Postecoglou’s side face a tricky game against Frankfurt who are currently sitting in third place in the Bundesliga.
The North London club won’t enter the clash with a great deal of confidence having lost four of their last seven matches across all competitions.
The Lilywhites will need to be in top form on Thursday, however, they look set to be without three players, including one key man.
Dejan Kulusevski one of three Tottenham players missing from training before Frankfurt clash
Dejan Kulusevski was one of three Tottenham Hotspur players who were missing from training ahead of their clash with Frankfurt, according to Alasdair Gold.
The £29m winger has been sidelined with a foot injury since the end of February which has been a major blow for Ange Postecoglou’s team.
Kulusveksi, who has been called ‘incredible’, is currently due to return from injury towards the end of this month which may rule him out of the second-leg.
Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin were both missing training too, as the centre-back duo recovery from injuries.
Danso has picked up a thigh injury and is due back around the same time as Kulusevski, meanwhile, Dragusin is a long-term injury miss.
Fortunately, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are now fully fit and should boost Spurs’ hopes of getting a positive result in the first-leg.
Frankfurt set to be without key player for their trip to face Tottenham
Frankfurt’s first-choice goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has been ruled out of their Europa League first leg, according to German journalist Carsten Schellhorn.
The goalkeeper is set to be replaced by 36-year-old Jens Grahl who would be making his first appearance of the season for the German club.
Trapp is expected to be fit for the first-leg, therefore, Tottenham will need to take full advantage of Frankfurt’s goalkeeper situation on Thursday.
