Tottenham XI vs Bodo/Glimt: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Europa League today

Spurs are without three key players for their semi-final decider

Tottenham are tonight missing two of their captains and three of their most creative players for tonight’s Europa League semi-final decider against Bodo/Glimt in Norway.

Vice-captain James Maddison (knee) and Lucas Bergvall (ankle) have both been ruled out for the rest of the season with ligament damage, while skipper Heung-min Son has not travelled as he continues to nurse a foot injury.

Yves Bissouma deputised for Bergvall in the first leg and keeps his place at the base of midfield after his best performance in weeks, while Dejan Kulusevski is the obvious replacement for Maddison at No10.

Richarlison played his part in Spurs' 3-1 first-leg win, setting up Brennan Johnson's 38-second opener before being hooked at the interval and continues on the left flank, with the Wales winger and Dominic Solanke making up the front three.

Solanke has trained for the past two days after being forced off with a quad injury in the first leg and missing Sunday's draw at West Ham. Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert both impressed against the Hammers but are named on the bench in Bodo.

Postecoglou's back five remains the same from a week ago, with Destiny Udogie having moved ahead of Djed Spence at left-back since returning to fitness and form in recent weeks, while Rodrigo Bentancur starts in midfield.

Radu Dragusin (knee) is also sidelined, while Sergio Reguilon, Antonin Kinsky and Timo Werner are ineligible in Europe.

Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Bentancur, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Johnson, Solanke, Richarlison.

Substitutes: Austin, Whiteman, Spence, Davies, Danso, Gray, Sarr, Olusesi, Ajayi, Odobert, Moore, Tel.
