Team News
Tottenham Hotspur
Thomas Frank has received a critical defensive boost for this match. Captain Cristian Romero (adductor) and Destiny Udogie (knee) are back in action. Both of them came off the bench against Chelsea on Saturday. In addition, Wilson Odobert has recovered from a side strain.
However, the team remains in the grip of a major injury crisis. Key playmakers James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are still sidelined. They are joined by Yves Bissouma and Dominic Solanke. Furthermore, Lucas Bergvall is a new doubt after suffering a concussion in the loss to Chelsea.
FC Copenhagen
The visitors also travel to London with a depleted squad. The Danish champions are expected to be without key midfielders Thomas Delaney and Magnus Mattsson. In addition, Birger Meling and Rodrigo Huescas are also listed as unavailable for the trip. Youssoufa Moukoko is therefore likely to lead their attack.
Form Guide
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs are currently in a poor run of form. They have lost their last two domestic matches without scoring a single goal. Consequently, they have won just one of their last five games in all competitions. Their Champions League campaign, however, remains a positive. They are still unbeaten in the competition, with one win and two draws (W1, D2).
FC Copenhagen
Copenhagen are struggling badly in the Champions League. They currently sit 32nd in the league stage with just one point from three games. Critically, their historical record in England is dreadful. They have never won a competitive match on English soil in nine attempts (D2, L7). In fact, they have lost their last five straight visits.
