Ange Postecoglou and Archie Gray are both speaking to the media on Wednesday out in Germany ahead of Tottenham's Europa League tie at Hoffenheim.

Spurs are in a tough spell at the moment in the Premier League and the Europa League might just provide a much-needed distraction from their domestic issues. The north London club require four points from their remaining two matches to finish in the top eight in the big new league format to ensure they skip the extra play-off round next month and head straight to the knockouts.

Postecoglou has found his future to be the subject of plenty of speculation in recent weeks although football.london reported on Monday morning that the club remains in full support of him despite the poor Premier League results that most recently brought Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Everton.

There is understanding inside the club that the Australian is dealing with an unprecedented injury crisis and the 59-year-old will be without 13 players against Hoffenheim, including the unregistered Antonin Kinsky, Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon and Yang Min-hyeok.

One player who has needed to play every minute, and in an unnatural centre-back position, is 18-year-old Gray. The young central midfielder will also speak to the media about the tough spot Spurs are going through and his own experiences in the backline.

Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold is among those putting the questions to Postecoglou and Gray in Germany. Scroll down for the latest updates from the press conference at the PreZero Arena.
