Thomas Frank will be forced into a defensive reshuffle when Tottenham take on Bodo/Glimt tonight.

Spurs are in Norway for their second Champions League match but Cristian Romero has not travelled with the squad in a blow for the visitors.

Frank said that is just a “precaution” but it means Micky van de Ven will have a new partner alongside him at centre-back, with Kevin Danso expected to start.

Ben Davies is now fit again and has made the trip, though he is unlikely to come into the starting lineup. Pedro Porro should return after starting on the bench over the weekend.

Richarlison is set to have to start once again up front, despite looking fairly tired in the draw with Wolves on Saturday.

The Brazilian has little in the way of competition at the moment, with Mathys Tel unavailable after being left out of the squad for the league phase of this competition.

Dominic Solanke has now undergone surgery on his ankle and will not be back until at least after the international break, while Randal Kolo Muani’s recovery from a dead leg has been slow.

Frank must decide whether to shift Xavi Simons into the No10 role or keep him out on the left, which would mean Lucas Bergvall likely being the most advanced midfielder.
