Tottenham Hotspur could be without five injured players for Thursday’s Europa League semi-final second-leg clash with Bodo/Glimt in Norway.
James Maddison scored in last week’s 3-1 first-leg victory in North London, but the playmaker was forced off with a knee injury midway through the second half and is now expected to miss the rest of the season.
Radu Dragusin (ACL) and Lucas Bergvall (ankle) are also sidelined, but Ange Postecoglou is hopeful that Dominic Solanke (thigh) and Son Heung-min (foot) can be involved on Thursday, the latter of whom has missed the last five matches in all competitions.
If both Solanke and Son are not deemed fit to start, then both Richarlison and Brennan Johnson could be joined in the front three by either Mathys Tel or Wilson Odobert, who scored in Spurs’ 1-1 draw at West Ham United in the Premier League last weekend.
Dejan Kulusevski will likely fill the creative void left by Maddison and the Swede could link up with Rodrigo Bentancur and either Yves Bissouma or Pape Matar Sarr in centre-midfield.
Postecoglou is expected to revert to the same back four that began the first leg, with Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie all starting and providing defensive cover for goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Tel
