Tudor confirmed both Djed Spence and Cristian Romero are available to face Atletico Madrid, while Yves Bissouma and Souza will be unavailable, as the Spurs boss emphasised the importance of players beginning to come back. He also confirmed Richarlison will start.
He added: "For the first time that I'm here, we will have, let's say, available players to play in the defensive side that are the players we usually play. So all three games happen that we miss the players in their positions, and we miss the players who are usually playing. So a beautiful game to play tomorrow, a totally different competition than the Premier League."
On being able to select captain Romero: "Yes, he has missed it a lot. He was also not feeling good to not be in, with the circumstances to help the team. So now he's back, we was working these two, three weeks a lot. Even with the fitness coach he did a separate running session to be in better shape now that he's back. We are happy. I'm sure that tomorrow he'll be a leader like he's always been and that we'll make together a good game."
Tudor said the "more the time is passing", he is seeing "more quality in everything", adding: "Lots of habits sometimes need more time than you expected to change. This is also very interesting and this is the thing we are speaking with the staff every day, how fast we can make changes."
On the importance of these games against Atletico: "Every game is important. As I said, always after the game we need to be focused on us, to grow. It can be an opportunity. Totally different mentality can be used in this kind of game, so maybe this can help us, seeing which problems we have. I believe that these kind of games can help us to switch the right way."
On whether they can try something new that could help their form for the rest of the season: "We need to do our best in terms of we need to grow. Because our first aim is the Premier League - this is something that needs to be said publicly, it's a normal thing - this is something extra, but that doesn't mean we don't want to pass and don't want to go to the next round."
