Frank confirmed Dominic Solanke is "not ready to be involved" but is "taking steps in the right direction so that's positive".

Randal Kolo Muani is available: "If we needed him to play, he could play 90 minutes, but can he play at the intensity and the level that we want? But he's ready and he'll be involved, so that's the most important thing."

On managing his first game in the Champions League, Frank said: "It's a fantastic opportunity and experience. It's a big thing. I'm hugely looking forward to it. I know it'll be special when we have that Champions League anthem playing. Now it's preparation, there's a few more cameras, but it's business as usual."

More on his personal story: "I was manager of Brentford in the Championship at Griffin Park, a small, compact stadium, and on Tuesday we're playing in one of the best stadiums in the world, in front of our own fantastic fans. It's a European night and we know they'll be absolutely on it. It'll be so special."

On how far can Spurs go in Europe: "I believe I have a fantastic squad and we would like to go as far as possible. I think the most important thing is that it's one game at a time."
