Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs Eintracht Frankfurt

By Andrew Delaney, Reporter | 10 October 2022

Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the important Champions League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Tottenham Hotspur enter matchday four of the UEFA Champions League knowing that a win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday will be crucial in their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stages.

Both Spurs and Frankfurt sit level on four points in Group D, two points adrift of leaders Sporting Lisbon, meaning either side could jump into first place with a win, should the Portuguese outfit lose to Marseille.

The reverse fixture in central Germany last week saw the sides play out a rather dull 0-0 draw in what was yet another low scoring game in the group.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the important clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Harry Kane took a late blow to the ankle in the weekend win over Brighton and Hove Albion and was subsequently substituted, but he should be fine to start after both he and manager Antonio Conte talked down the severity of the injury post-match.
