Tottenham XI vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Europa League

Ange Postecoglou must decide who to start in Tottenham’s attack with Heung-min Son out of tonight’s massive Europa League quarter-final second-leg tie against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Captain Son has not travelled to Germany due to a niggling foot problem in a major blow to Spurs' hopes of winning the last-eight decider following last week's 1-1 draw in north London.

Dejan Kulusevski is available after coming off the bench for the final 15 minutes of Sunday's 4-2 defeat at Wolves in the Premier League and could come in for the South Korean.

Odobert has made the trip despite sitting out the weekend's game at Molineux as Postecoglou manages the winger's minutes.

Mathys Tel is also a contender to start in Son's place from the left flank after playing there - and scoring - on Sunday. Brennan Johnson or Wilson Odobert could also switch to the left flank if Kulusevski comes in on the right.

Postecoglou's other tough call is at full-back, with Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence all jostling for two places.

Udogie and Porro were rested on Sunday, suggesting that they are in pole position to face Frankfurt, despite Spence's fine form.

Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall, all of whom were rested against Wolves, are expected to start.

Kevin Danso is available again after a hamstring injury and has travelled, but Radu Dragusin (knee) misses out, while Sergio Reguilon, Antonin Kinsky, Fraser Forster and Timo Werner are all ineligible.
