Tottenham injury news: Mixed update emerges ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt clash

Tottenham Hotspur can secure a top-eight finish in the Champions League when they face Eintracht Frankfurt away from home on Wednesday night.

Spurs are fifth in the Champions League table, 14 points from seven games, and a win will guarantee them an automatic spot in the knock-out round.

While the north London club are doing exceptionally well in Europe, their domestic form has been abysmal, and Thomas Frank will be more concerned with his growing injury list.

Ahead of their trip to Frankfurt, Spurs have been dealt mixed injury news ahead of their final Champions League game.

Tottenham injury news: Good and bad

According to a report from Football London, Joao Palhinha has resumed training at Hotspur Way on Tuesday morning.

The Portuguese midfielder, who is currently on loan from Bayern Munich, suffered a knock in training ahead of Tottenham's loss against West Ham, and it was feared that he would not return before February.

The news is a huge boost for Frank, who is already without Conor Gallagher and Yves Bissouma; both are not registered to play in the Champions League.

However, Spurs are still without defender Micky van de Ven, and the Dutch defender was absent from training, sparking fears that he will miss the contest.

Pedro Porro also picked up an injury during the 2-2 draw against Burnley in the previous game, and he was also not seen in the training session.

Losing Micky van de Ven is a blow

Frank is also currently missing a host of players, including Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentacur, Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison, Richarlison, and Dejan Kulusevski.

The loss of Van de Ven is a big blow for Tottenham, and his current injury status is unclear. The Dutchman did not train ahead of the Borussia Dortmund clash, and it looks likely that he will miss the trip to Frankfurt.

Dominic Solanke trained without difficulty and will be expected to lead the line once again after starting in back-to-back games.
