Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has provided an injury update on the fitness of his Spurs squad ahead of their Champions League clash with Slavia Prague.

Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways on Saturday after beating Brentford 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

That victory marked Spurs’ first home win since August, ending what had been a difficult three-month stretch without joy on their own turf.

Attention now turns to the Champions League, with Thomas Frank and his side pushing for a top-eight finish as they aim to avoid playing extra playoff games next year.

Slavia Prague will be visiting a packed Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday, as Heung-min Son is set to make a return since departing north London in the summer.

Spurs will be determined to make their former captain feel the weight of the occasion by securing a victory that could take them into the top eight, with only two points currently separating them from that position.

Thomas Frank is without his full strength squad going into this cup tie, limiting the rotation options that the Tottenham boss has available to him.

Destiny Udogie is a doubt ahead of the fixture after missing the win over Brentford, with Frank stating that he believes the defender will not be sidelined for too long.

The other injured Tottenham players are not registered for the Champions League, meaning their injuries do not affect this specific clash.

Tottenham Hotspur are slowly but surely inching up the Premier League table predicted by Opta’s Supercomputer.

Following Tottenham’s loss at home against Fulham a little over a week ago, it seemed all doom and gloom for the Lilywhites.

There appeared to be a growing disconnect between Spurs fans and the players, and there were even calls for Thomas Frank to be sacked.

However, two good results against Newcastle and Brentford in back-to-back matches have calmed the situation down a little, and the results have seen the North Londoners inch up Opta’s prediction table.

Tottenham move up two places in Opta’s prediction table in a week

Ahead of their trip to the North East, Opta’s algorithm had Spurs finishing in 12th place this season.

After Tottenham’s 2-2 draw at St James’ Park, the supercomputer revised its prediction, backing the Lilywhites to finish in 11th place.

Opta’s algorithm has now revised its assessment once again following Tottenham’s dominant display against Brentford.

Following the 2-0 win against the Bees, Thomas Frank’s men have now moved up to 10th place in the prediction table, with an expected points tally of 53.69 points.

Have Spurs turned a corner with their win over Brentford?

Tottenham Hotspur fans will be hoping that the Lilywhites can beat Slavia Prague to make it back-to-back home wins, and that will go a long way towards solving the problematic atmosphere at their home ground.

Thomas Frank has admitted that he is closer to finding his strongest Spurs eleven every week, as he gets a better understanding of his players’ strengths and weaknesses.

The Dane will be hoping that this is the start of a turnaround, while the Tottenham supporters would be hopeful that the team’s performance on Saturday convinces the 52-year-old to take the handbrakes off more often.

The Tottenham players have been training at Hotspur Way on Monday morning ahead of their Champions League fixture against Slavia Prague.

The mood in North London has improved following Tottenham’s 2-0 win against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

Goals from Richarlison and a first for Xavi Simons proved to be enough to Spurs just their fourth league victory of the calendar year.

The Tottenham players were back on the pitch at the training ground this morning to continue their preparations for the visit of their Czech opponents.

Thomas Frank’s side need to secure a victory over Slavia Prague to improve on their current tally of eight points from their first five matches if they are to push for automatic Champions League qualification to the next round.

Destiny Udogie picked up an injury at Newcastle, forcing him to sit out the Brentford victory and did not participate in the session.

Mathys Tel trained, however the Frenchman is unable to play in the Champions League having been left out of the squad.

Brennan Johnson was not available for Tottenham’s 5-3 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain as a result of his one-match suspension and did not partipate in the session.

Spurs fans were left concerned after Randal Kolo Muani was seen limping shortly after the Brentford fixture, however, the Frenchman was fit enough to take his place on the training pitch.

Among the players seen being put through their paces by the Tottenham coaching staff were:

Kota Takai, Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin, Xavi Simons, Randal Kolo Muani, Mathys Tel and Dane Scarlett.

Following the match against Slavia Prague, Tottenham round off their Champions League fixtures in the league phase at home to Borussia Dortmund along with a trip to Germany to face Eintracht Frankfurt.

Spurs will be aiming for a victory when Slavia Prague come to visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday night, and we have now attempted to predict the Dane’s Tottenham XI to take on the Czech side.

Tottenham Hotspur have three Champions League games remaining to play as they aim to advance to the round of 16 in the competition.

Spurs currently find themselves in 16th place, two points off eighth, and they take on Slavia Prague, who are in 31st place with three points, in matchday six of the league phase.

A victory is crucial for Tottenham on Tuesday night if they are to give themselves a chance of making it into the automatic qualification places.

Heung-min Son will be present at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as he returns to bid farewell to the Tottenham faithful, and everyone on the pitch will be aiming to give him a proper send-off with a victory.

We have now attempted to predict his starting XI for Tuesday’s encounter.

Tottenham predicted XI vs Slavia Prague

Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario: The Italian managed a clean sheet last time out against Brentford and did the basics right, and he should continue between the sticks here.

MORE SPURS STORIES

Right-back – Pedro Porro: A much-improved performance from Porro on Saturday, with the full back finding a good balance with overlapping while creating from deep, and he could be a threat once more on Tuesday.

Centre-back – Cristian Romero: No goals last time out against Brentford, but he was part of the Tottenham backline that kept their first clean sheet since October, and we expect Frank to stick with his captain during the midweek.

Centre-back – Micky van de Ven: He was immense against the Bees, making recovery tackles while sticking close to Igor Thiago, and he should keep his spot once more.

Left-back – Djed Spence: Udogie is currently carrying a knock and is a doubt for Tuesday, so that should make it back-to-back starts for Spence.

Pivot midfielder – Joao Palhinha: The Portuguese was rested against Brentford with Rodrigo Bentancur featuring as one of the pivots, but we expect Frank to rest the Uruguayan for Palhinha.

Pivot midfielder – Lucas Bergvall: It could be a fresh pivot pairing with Archie Gray, also dropping to the bench after his standout display against Brentford, and that should give way for Bergvall.

Centre midfielder – Xavi Simons: The Dutchman put on quite a show in Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Brentford by grabbing a goal and an assist, and with Slavia Prague visiting the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, he will be looking to build on that display.

Right winger – Mohammed Kudus: The wide man is more or less a nailed-on starter, and we expect that he will continue on the right in this tie.

Striker – Randal Kolo Muani: The Frenchman was taken off early against Brentford with Frank perhaps having this fixture in mind. Richarlison could be rested, and Muani will lead the line.

Luka Vuskovic has produced a moment of real quality that will excite Tottenham supporters, as the teenager grabbed his second goal of the season in style.

Tottenham Hotspur will be closely monitoring the progress of their on-loan stars, including Luka Vuskovic.

The 18-year-old has been making a mark in the German top flight with top performances for newly promoted Hamburg, which has pushed him into the spotlight far earlier than many expected.

Vuskovic’s top displays saw him secure back-to-back Bundesliga Player of the Month awards while also earning him a debut with the Croatia national side this season.

Tottenham’s Luka Vuskovic scores superb goal against Werder Bremen

The centre-back has an eye for goal, having scored seven last term with Westerlo, and this season he has managed two, with the second an absolute beauty.

This came in Hamburg’s recent outing against Werder Bremen with Vuskovic grabbing the newly promoted side’s second of the night to put them in front.

His strike came following a set-piece delivery that saw him come up with an improvised scorpion kick finish, placing the ball well away from Werder Bremen’s shot stopper Nagata, who was rooted to the spot.

Spurs see rising potential in Luka Vuskovic

Vuskovic’s top displays have caught the attention of several other clubs, including Hamburg and Borussia Dortmund, who have shown interest in signing the Tottenham defender.

Spurs, however, are understood to be reluctant to sell the Croatian who made it into the WhoScored Team of the Year.

The 18-year-old could be an ace for Tottenham in the future under Thomas Frank, given his goal threat in the opposition box.

This season, we have seen Micky van de Ven’s output increase under the Dane, same with Cristian Romero, with both centre-backs now proving to be lethal in the opposition box.

If Spurs were to add Vuskovic into the mix, that would only increase their goal threat from set pieces.

Tottenham Hotspur fans can watch one of their senior players make his first appearance on Sky Sports Monday Night Football this evening.

However, Tottenham could drop back to the bottom half of the table if Man United avoid defeat at the Molineux Stadium this evening.

Spurs Web prediction for Tottenham vs Slavia Prague

This is a must-win game for Spurs, given their aim to secure a top-eight finish in the league phase of the competition.

A defeat here will only make the task tougher, as Spurs still have fixtures to come against sixth-placed Borussia Dortmund and 28th-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.

The atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium should be deafening with club legend Heung-min Son present to say a proper goodbye to Spurs fans following his departure last summer, and if Spurs start strongly, they could take all three points.

Tottenham Hotspur have now confirmed the destination for next year’s pre-season tour, giving supporters plenty to look forward to.

The 2025-26 season is still very much in full swing, with Tottenham Hotspur doing their best to make it a memorable one.

“Sydney is one of the world’s most iconic locations for sport and I am excited to be able to take the team there to play two matches, including one against one of our biggest rivals.

“I have heard all about our passionate fanbase in Australia and it is something the Club is very proud of. I cannot wait to experience that for myself and I know the supporters will love the opportunity to watch us take on Sydney FC and Chelsea in their home country.

“While in Sydney, as well as engaging with our fans, it is important that we explore the local area and celebrate its culture – that is something we are all looking forward to.”

What ball number is Tottenham in the FA Cup draw

Spurs are number 39 of the 64 balls in the upcoming draw.

Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a big boost in their rumoured pursuit of one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League.

Spurs Web has relayed several reports over recent weeks stating that Tottenham are contemplating adding a central midfielder to their squad in January.

It has also been claimed by a few sources that Spurs want to make a statement by signing in January to signal their ambition.

One Brighton man, who came close to joining Man United in the summer, is thought to be in Tottenham’s sights.

Brighton slash asking price for Tottenham target Carlos Baleba

A few days ago, CaughtOffside claimed Tottenham may pounce on Brighton’s Carlos Baleba in January, who is no longer a priority for Man United as he was in the summer.

Subsequently, it emerged that Spurs would have to pay £100m for the Brighton man, which could be a sticking point for the North London club.

However, a new report in TEAMtalk has now alleged that the Seagulls have slashed their asking price for Baleba ahead of the January window.

The outlet claims that Brighton are now willing to sell the midfielder for £75m and that they have already identified Aston Villa’s Lamare Bogarde as a potential replacement for the Cameroon international.

Should Spurs break their transfer record on Baleba?

While the £75m asking price is a significant drop from the previously quoted £100m, it would still comfortably shatter Tottenham’s transfer record fee of £65m they paid to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth 18 months ago.

Baleba’s form has fallen down a cliff since his failed move to Old Trafford in the summer, which may be why Brighton have dropped their price.
