Ange Postecoglou has some decisions to make when it comes to his Tottenham team to face AZ Alkmaar. Thursday evening sees Spurs return to Europa League action as the Dutch club make the trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Postecoglou's side have started off well in Europe so far this term and have two wins to their name from their first two games. The European fixtures have allowed the head coach to rotate his team and give his Premier League regulars a rare breather.

Making six changes for the first league phase game against Qarabag, Postecoglou then made seven alterations for the win at Ferencvaros last time out. Things have improved for Spurs on the injury front since domestic action resumed, with Son Heung-min and Richarlison returning to the pitch last weekend and Wilson Odobert making his comeback in training.

Son was not spotted in Tottenham's open training session on Wednesday and Postecoglou mentioned in his press conference that the captain will play no part against AZ. The absence of the experienced attacker could potentially open the door for Mikey Moore to start his second successive European game for Tottenham.
