Bodo/Glimt booked their place in the last four having squeezed past league phase table-toppers Lazio in the quarter-finals after a penalty shoot-out
Tottenham vs Bodo/Glimt team news
The head coach made eight changes for Tottenham’s 5-1 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday and it is hardly surprising that he has recalled some of those rested to the starting eleven.
Postecoglou confirmed on Wednesday that Heung-min Son will miss the match as a result of his foot injury, while Radu Dragusin is a long-term absentee.
Lucas Bergvall is also not involved this evening in a blow considering the teenager has been the best performing midfielder in recent weeks.
Bodo/Glimt have key men Patrick Berg, Håkon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen suspended. The Norwegian outfit will be looking to keep things tight ahead of the second leg in the Arctic Circle next week.
This is the Spurs side which takes to the field under the lights of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening:
Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison, Johnson, Solanke, Richarlison
Subs: Austin, Whiteman, Spence, Davies, Danso, Gray, Sarr, Kulusevski, Moore, Odobert, Tel
