What is the team news?

Igor Tudor told SPURSPLAY on Tuesday afternoon that Dominic Solanke is a doubt over a small problem, while Conor Gallagher (illness) will also need to be assessed.

Richarlison misses the game through suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards in the Champions League, while Souza and Yves Bissouma are ineligible.

Joao Palhinha, injured in the first leg in Spain last week, is still sidelined but Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie and Lucas Bergvall are all back available, the latter two set to start on the bench. Micky van de Ven is also available again after serving a one-match domestic suspension against Liverpool on Sunday.

James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Rodrigo Bentancur and Ben Davies remain out.

Atletico Madrid will be without goalkeeper Jan Oblak due to a muscular issue, while Rodrigo Mendoza remains sidelined. Pablo Barrios will be assessed.

Is Toby Alderweireld at the game?

Legendary former defender Toby Alderweireld is set to be a special guest at the match on Wednesday night.

He’ll appear in the stadium around 15 minutes before the game – at roughly 7.45pm UK – so make sure you’re in your seats to hear from the popular former Belgium international as he chats with our matchday host, Paul Coyte.

Who is the referee?

German official Daniel Siebert will take charge of the game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday.

He’ll be assisted by Jan Seidel and Rafael Foltyn, with Daniel Schlager as the fourth official.

VAR duties will be performed by Bastian Dankert and assistant Sören Storks.

Which kit colours will the teams be wearing?

We’ll be in our traditional all-Lilywhite home strip, with our goalkeeper in orange.

Atletico will change to a royal blue kit with red trim. Their keeper will be in green.
