Tottenham Hotspur will take on Copenhagen in the league phase of the Champions League on Tuesday night, but they will be without Lucas Bergvall.Â
The 19-year-old started in the Premier League clash against Chelsea, but he was taken off after only seven minutes due to concussion.Â
The midfielder took a hit to his head from a clearance by Enzo Fernandez, and while he was eager to carry on, Spurs did not take a risk with him.Â
Thomas Frank confirmed on Monday that Bergvall had suffered a concussion and would not participate in the next two games.Â
Tottenham injury news update: Lucas Bergvall out of Copenhagen fixtureÂ
It appears that the Swedish international will not only miss the Copenhagen clash, but also the crucial Premier League game against Manchester United.
The Spurs boss told reporters: "Lucas got a concussion. Which was probably pretty obvious, big praise to the medical team.Â
"It is a tricky situation to be in. Well done to them, it is the player's health which is most important. He is out for the next two games."
Djed Spence and Mohammed Kudus both picked up knocks in the previous game, but Frank expects both the players to be fit for this match.Â
Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie both returned to action in the loss to Chelsea, appearing from the bench, and they could be pushing to start.Â
Copenhagen Champions League game a must-win for TottenhamÂ
Spurs are heading into this game on the back of two defeats in a row against Chelsea and Newcastle United, and they must avoid another defeat.Â
The north London club were booed by supporters at both half-time and full-time in the 1-0 home defeat, and a strong performance is needed to turn around the toxic atmosphere surrounding the club.Â
Spurs have won just three home games in their past 19 matches and only three in their last 10 games across all competitions, and they need a strong performance against Copenhagen, who are winless in their three Champions League games.Â
