Tottenham’s Champions League opponent Eintracht Frankfurt suffer double injury blow to key players

Tottenham were boosted by news that tonight’s opponents will be without Ansgar Knauff and Lucas Pellegrini.

Ansgar Knauff is out due to a thigh fascial injury while the left-back has been battling a shoulder problem. He is not part of the squad that travelled to London.

The Lillywhites also have their own injury issues with manager Antnonio Conte confirming that Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski is back in training but would be playing tonight.

Brazilian forward Lucas Moura who has been battling injury is back, and will be on the bench for the first time in a month, as he works his way back to full fitness.

Tottenham could only manage a 0-0 in the first leg in Frankfurt and will hope to get the win that will all but see them qualify for the next stage of the Champions League.

They come into the game on the back of an important 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League while Eintracht Frankfurt suffered a 3-0 defeat to Bochem in the Bundesliga.

Bochem had been without a win all season before facing Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend. They gained their first three points of the campaign, so Tottenham at home are aiming at putting them to the sword.

Tottenham have enjoyed a solid start to the season and are only just four points off the top of the table. They will host Everton in the Premier League this weekend before games against Manchester United and Newcastle follow.
