Tottenham look set to be without Cristian Romero for their trip to face Monaco.

Destiny Udogie was also absent from training with a knee issue and, unless he shifts players out of position, it means Frank has no choice but to start the same back four again.

There could be a reshuffle in midfield after the struggles against Villa. Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr have both had limited involvement recently but would add some energy and drive to the middle of the pitch.

Further forward, Xavi Simons has not hit the heights expected of him at No10 and there could be a temptation for Frank to try something different and move him out to the left where he made his first Spurs appearances.

Mathys Tel has led the line in the last two matches, but he is not in Spurs' squad for the league phase of the Champions League and so Richarlison is expected to return to the starting line-up.

Randal Kolo Muani is available but Spurs still need to build his fitness and so another cameo off the bench is likely.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Palhinha, Sarr; Kudus, Bergvall, Simons; Richarlison

Doubts: Romero, Udogie, Davies

Injured: Dragusin, Takai, Maddison, Kulusevski, Bissouma, Solanke
