Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team that we reckon Thomas Frank will select to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League

Thomas Frank has only one real decision to make with his starting XI as Tottenham face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday but young starlets could get a chance as the game progresses.

The under-fire Spurs head coach needs a victory against the German side to stop a run of eight defeats in 14 matches but Frank must do so without 13 missing players. Out are the injured Joao Palhinha, Richarlison, Ben Davies, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur as well as James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.

Micky van de Ven is suspended while Conor Gallagher, Yves Bissouma and Radu Dragusin are ineligible, as is Mathys Tel now after coming back out of the squad for Dominic Solanke. Pape Matar Sarr has been at the Africa Cup of Nations as Senegal won the competition and was discharged from hospital in Morocco on Monday after falling ill during the final against the host side along with other players and staff.

"We have 11 [outfield] players available and we maybe have three players that need to push massively to get through 90 minutes physically," said Frank.

"So that’s why we need everyone to support us from minute one. All of us, especially the team, especially the players. Especially if it’s not going too well. We need them to support us, because if we do get that support everything can happen. Magic can happen. We have a good opportunity tomorrow, and we go all in for it."

The available senior outfield players Frank has are, in defence, Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro, Djed Spence, Destiny Udogie, Kevin Danso, in midfield Xavi Simons, Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and up front Solanke, Randal Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert.

The only choice then comes with whether Djed Spence or Destiny Udogie, of fit enough, start at left-back and that means substitute opportunities for youngsters. A number of academy starlets trained with the team on Monday, including Luca Williams-Barnett, Tynan Thompson, Malachi Hardy, Callum Olusesi and Jun'ai Byfield among others.

Williams-Barnett, Thompson and Olusesi in particular could have a chance of making their Champions League debut, while Dane Scarlett will likely get minutes.

Here's the Tottenham team we reckon Frank will select:

Thomas Frank insisted it was business as usual on Monday as his Tottenham Hotspur side prepared for the Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Frank's future has been uncertain after he faced chants of “you’re getting sacked in the morning” from Spurs fans towards the end of the 2-1 defeat to West Ham United at the weekend.

And heading into tonight’s game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Frank’s options are extremely limited, as as many as 14 of his players could miss the game.

However, Xavi Simons has already confirmed that he will play through the pain to help his side after picking up a knock against the Hammers.

He said: “I’m a guy, I’m willing to give everything to win and obviously if I had really, really, really (bad) pain, then I wouldn’t play, but it’s now a situation that I can handle myself as well even though I have a little bit of pain. I want to play the game, I want to help the team and to grow into that.

The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has been speaking to the media ahead of the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund

Xavi Simons has been speaking ahead of Tottenham's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Spurs will go into the game against the German outfit with head coach Thomas Frank under huge pressure following eight defeats in 14 matches. This match against a Dortmund side that has lost just once in the Bundesliga this season comes at a time when Tottenham have 13 players out through injury, suspension or ineligibility.

Xavi did not train on Monday due to an ankle injury suffered against West Ham, but the 22-year-old will play through the pain against a team he knows well and has enjoyed plenty of success against in recent years while at RB Leipzig.

Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold was among those putting the questions to Xavi. Here's the full transcript from his press conference at Hotspur Way.

How much do you feel you owe it to the manager to put in a performance, and how much does the uncertainty around him put pressure on you?

At the end, I would say this is the highest level of football, and as we know as a group, we have to stick together. It's not only the coach, it's the whole club, I would say. And that's the most important thing.

In football, we're playing every two or three days. And we have to stick together and to go on, and tomorrow we have another opportunity to win.

There are going to be a lot of young players in this game, you know the likes of Luca Williams-Barnett and Tynan Thompson, can the fans use those kind of players as a way of looking forward to a future at Tottenham?

Yeah, I would say even me, I’m still young, but you can see the younger guys coming up, and in training every day with us, the excitement that they have. Their willing to play the game is immense. But I would say obviously we have to do our job and at the end every one of them coming to the pitch will be no age, no young guys, it will be football. I think they are all ready.

Is this the big moment when it turns around?

Yeah obviously we want to turn this around. Especially playing in the Champions League it’s the biggest stage. Me playing against Dortmund, I’ve played them already in Germany. It’s special but at the same time it’s like every game, every game is a big game for me and the team. We want to pick that moment to bring the three points at home.

You’ve experienced elite environments all over your career so far, what have you made of Spurs?

Yeah, at the end I think it's not fair to compare every club. Every situation is different, every manager is different, every place is different and me I am now here, I am really happy to be here. Obviously this is the situation we’re in and for me at the start, it was not and I was not in the right position or mood, but now I feel really good together with the team and we’re trying to change this.

How's the pain in your ankle?

Yeah, it was a big, big impact, but it's getting better.

You're playing through the pain barrier for this game, how much does that show that you and the players are fighting for this manager?

Yeah, I think everyone wants to win, not only the coach, but the players as well. And we want to change this, especially me. I'm a guy, I'm willing to give everything to win.

And obviously, if I had really, really, really pain, then I wouldn't play. But it's now a situation that I can handle myself as well, even though I have a little bit of pain. But I want to play the game, I want to help the team and to grow into that.

Here's every single word the under-fire Tottenham Hotspur boss said ahead of the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund

Thomas Frank faced the media on Monday amid uncertainty about his future at Tottenham ahead of the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund.

The Spurs boss is under pressure with an angry fanbase calling for his sacking amid a run of eight defeats in 14 matches which culminated in more boos at home after Saturday's defeat at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to 18th-placed West Ham. The club's hierarchy are believed to have been considering their options and now Frank must pick a starting XI from an injury-ravaged squad, with 13 players out injured or unregistered with centre-back Micky van de Ven also suspended.

Spurs will face a Dortmund side on Tuesday that have lost just once in the Bundesliga this season and Frank was quizzed on his future as well as the injury latest at the club.

Our Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold was among those putting the questions to Frank. Here's the full transcript from the press conference at Hotspur Way.

We're all reporting that discussions have taken place at board level about your future. Can you share what was communicated to you after that?

I’ve just been, how can you say, feeling the trust along the way. I’ve said that at every press meeting … that there is backing and support. I had lunch with Nick [Beucher - Vivienne Lewis' son-in-law] and Vinai [Venkatesham] and Johan [Lange] today, so all good. I know it’s part of the media circus and the only focus I have is to do everything I can for us to win tomorrow against Dortmund.

Your relationship with the fans is in a bad way. Do you ever think it is so broken, that you can’t win the fans back now and it's gone too far?

I’ve said it many times and I’ll say it again – as long as we win football matches and make sure we do that, and win enough of them, then everyone will support us. It’s not about me. It’s about supporting Xavi, supporting the team, supporting the players. We are playing a game against a very good German side and we, how can I say, a little bit limited with the players available for the game. So we basically have 11 of our outfield players available, of our normal first-team players.

One of them is Xavi … [a guy] that was out there today that didn’t train today because that was a bad tackle from Bowen … not that Bowen is a bad guy and would do anything intentional. A bad tackle from behind that injured his ankle, he has a swollen ankle but because he’s so strong mentally, he will play through pain tomorrow. So that’s big credit of course to Xavi. And by the way, while we are there, I can’t understand why that isn’t a red card when a red card is when he accidentally put his foot on Van Dijk. Anyway that is a bigger discussion.

So, we have 11 [outfield] players available and we maybe have three players that need to push massively to get through 90 minutes physically. So that’s why we need everyone to support us. And we want them to support us from minute one. All of us. Especially the team. Especially the players. Especially if it’s not going too well. We need them to support us. Because if we do get that support everything can happen. And magic can happen. We have a good opportunity tomorrow. And we go all in for it.

But can you win the fans back around?

Yeah, I'm not in doubt of that. I think you can say in this game, you always need to show resilience. I listened to some interesting things the other day, where the three biggest things in showing resilience is one, you have good values. I see myself as a guy that has pretty good values. Two, you know reality. And reality is one in five (people) normally don't like you, no matter what you do. One in five love you, no matter what you do. Both of them probably biased either way too much.

Then there's the three in five, that if you behave well, respectful, show integrity, do your best, normally that's the way. So no matter what you do, reality is someone will not like you.

But I keep doing what I do, what I believe in. And then the last bit, by the way, have perspective in life, which I have in abundance. So, looking forward to the game tomorrow.

How do you cope with the constant media coverage on your job?

I think you're right. I think if your back is against the wall, you fight. And that's what I do. I'm energetic, I fight. And again, it's not about me. We need to win football matches. And we need to win football matches together. And that's what it's all about.

And we planned well. We are ready, we are focused for the game tomorrow and the players look good.

Have you made your decision yet over picking either Dominic Solanke and Mathys Tel?

Yeah, I made the decision. It was not a nice decision to have to make. Unfortunately that’s football, you have to make a decision. With the way the rules are, the only option was it was either Dom or Mathys in the squad.

I chose Dom because… I think Mathys has done very well in the last couple of games and that’s the crazy thing, if I could pick from all the players that are fit, then he would start tomorrow. But I can only pick between the two of them and now he is out of the squad. That’s of course a tough one to take for Mathys.

Joao Palhinha, is he OK?

No. That’s why I said we only have 11 players. When it rains it pours. He’s not available.

There seems to be no quick fix - what are you saying to those above?

I think it’s always very simple in football but also very complex with many moving parts so the thing is we’ve lost four of the last seven by just one goal, all games where we could have got more out of it if the margins had gone our way. We’ve said it a few times, especially the Bournemouth and West Ham games, we could have won it and if we’d been the winning team then it would have been a different story sitting here today.

Liverpool, freak action, of course a red card and suddenly it’s a little bit uphill even though we did a lot of good things. It’s about keeping the noise out, staying calm and carry on. Look at the performances, look at the players, they are still running hard and the last three games - when we’ve been down at half time - and how they’ve come out for the second half and responded is a massive thing.

They responded fantastic and we should have got more out of it. Sometimes it’s just football. That happens when you are in that spell and you search for answers, you ask me for answers and it’s not why are we not scoring, why is it not dropping for us, why is it not going into the top corner. That spell when it’s not going your way is part of it.

But are you still working hard, are you trying hard, are you still believing which I see signs of - clearly - in every game. Then of course - and even the best coach in the world - you are nothing without your players, your best players and it’s fair to say they haven’t been available enough the whole season which makes it a little bit more tricky. But, hey, no problem because I’m happy to take the blame as long as everyone supports the players.

How important are the fans?

The fans are crucial of course. I don’t see any club performing well without the fans supporting, helping and doing everything they can. It’s fair that it’s not been smooth and it’s not been as fluid as we want to. A little bit too much up and down. Unfortunately it’s a results business and there’s a lot of emotions in this as well but there’s a lot of signs it’s going the right way. Then of course when it’s a little bit tricky to play every third or fourth day, that makes it more difficult. We still need to find a way to get over the line but we’re much closer than we think and we just need to keep going.

How close are you to getting regular performances?

I would actually refer to the last seven games. I think they have been quite regularly in the right direction and where it’s such a little thing that needs to drop for us before we win 2-1 against West Ham and 3-2 against Bournemouth and it’s completely different. Even the Villa game, that could also have been drawn. I think we performed, if you look at everything, (well enough) to not necessarily lose any of them and then it’s different. That’s why I think we’re not far away.

Since Tel came back into the side, he’s played well. How do you expect fans to take the news that Tel is out?

I don’t know. I hope people understand it’s not a straightforward decision, it’s him or Dom in the team tomorrow. And it is Mathys that has done well or it’s Dom that has been the main striker, experienced, a voice, that is also with his experience more likely to give a little bit more to everyone else if it’s a little bit tough. So, that’s the decision, I made a decision and I believe of course it’s the right decision and that’s what I went with.

You mentioned you are up for the fight, we don’t always see that side to you, can you tell us about that character and being nasty in the dressing room?

Yeah but how can you say? I think being up for the fight is to get up every morning very early, coming in, preparing and doing everything we can to turn every stone to make sure we are well prepared every single time we go on the pitch, push the staff, push the players, have demands, loads of small conversations, meetings, push everything. I think that is part of it and ready for the fight is also that you keep going. You don’t feel sorry for yourself when things are tough. You put things into a bigger perspective and you do everything you can.

I definitely know I can look at myself and know I am doing everything to make things right. Again, now it is me and we all know if we want success, it cannot only be about me and Xavi. It is about 25 players, me, the whole staff, ownership, leadership, so I know I am the man in the middle at the moment. Fair enough, I am more than happy to take all the blame as long as I protect the players and they back the players everyone, including fans and journalists. I just keep doing what I am doing. I am not in doubt that is the right thing, I am not in doubt that will turn but of course we need to win more football matches.

Going back to the fans tomorrow night. I mean, your place in the play-offs isn't yet secure, so how important against really dominant, experienced opposition tomorrow night is that support and not having a toxic atmosphere?

It is crucial. I completely understand the emotion in football and what it means for every fan that is involved. I completely, completely understand that. But also really, really understand how it is when people walk out on that pitch. The more they feel the energy and the support, no matter what, the better they perform. And we need that tomorrow. And I think the biggest thing, look at the players, are they running hard? Yes, they are. Then support them.

You said that you had lunch with Vinai, Nick and Johan today, did they give you any clarity or any assurances that if it doesn't go the way you want tomorrow night, about what the future holds?

I think it's a nice question. I haven't heard any situation like that in football where they say 'hey, mate, if you win tomorrow, no problem. If you lose tomorrow, no problem'.

We had a good conversation about life and football, the future of the club, everything normal, like you do. Of course, there's a little bit, how would we say, stormy weather out there. I just think it's an extremely good sign, because normally people are running away if there's bad news or bad weather coming, they're normally not coming in and being friendly for lunch.

The former Premier League manager was back in London over the weekend, fuelling speculation about his next move amid the growing pressure on Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur

Former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has been spotted back in London, at a time when Thomas Frank is under mounting pressure in his role at the club. It now feels like a matter of when, not if, Frank is shown the door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Dane is under intense scrutiny following a 2-1 defeat to West Ham on Saturday afternoon, a result that has left him fighting to save his job in north London. Frank's situation worsened further last weekend when Tottenham were knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa in front of their home supporters, extending a worrying run of form.

While the board has so far remained patient, frustration among fans continues to grow. Chants of 'you're getting sacked in the morning' have often rung around the stadium.

"I''ve probably had better times, it's probably not the best time of course," Frank said. "But I understand, I'm the man in charge. So the blame will go to me. That's fair, no problem in that sense. As long as they are backing the players, doing everything they can, to support them and drive them forward, that's what we do, and we will keep going forward.

"If you're not winning enough, we know you will not get enough support from the fans. But when we're winning, it will change, when we start winning again. Which we will do. I'm not in doubt of that."

Frank was appointed Spurs' head coach in June 2025, succeeding Postecoglou. The 60‑year‑old spent two years in charge before being sacked after a 17th‑place Premier League finish and despite ending the club's 17‑year trophy drought by winning the Europa League.

Postecoglou has returned to London and was in attendance at the London Broncos' game against Widnes at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in Wimbledon. The rugby team later took to Instagram to share some of the well‑known faces present, including Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and incoming co‑owner Grant Wechsel.

Meanwhile, Postecoglou was spotted sitting next to former Australian rugby star Darren Lockyer.

"Some famous faces in attendance for our round one clash against Widnes yesterday," London Broncos wrote on Instagram.

While a return for Postecoglou is deemed unlikely, his presence in London has inevitably fuelled speculation about what his next move might be.

After departing Spurs, the Athens‑born manager had a brief stint at Nottingham Forest, though his tenure lasted just 39 days - one of the shortest in Premier League history.

Yeah, I'm not in doubt of that. I think you can say in this game, you always need to show resilience. I listened to some interesting things the other day, where the three biggest things in showing resilience is one, you have good values. I see myself as a guy that has pretty good values. Two, you know reality. And reality is one in five (people) normally don't like you, no matter what you do. One in five love you, no matter what you do. Both of them probably biased either way too much.

Tottenham's interest in one Liverpool star who Jurgen Klopp rates highly has emerged

Tottenham are reported to have shown interest in Liverpool star Curtis Jones. The 24-year-old midfielder is thought of in exceptionally high regard by former Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

With Thomas Frank under intense pressure at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and injuries stacking up with every match that passes, Spurs turned to the transfer window earlier this month and brought in ex-Chelsea ace Conor Gallagher.

But Pape Sarr has been taken ill at AFCON, Rodrigo Bentancur is sidelined for some time and Joao Palhinha missed the 2-1 loss to West Ham on Saturday. Another midfield addition could therefore be necessary in north London this window.

Reports have suggested that Jones, who has played sparingly under Arne Slot at Anfield this season, is someone that Tottenham have looked at The Englishman has the validation of Klopp, who helped nurse him through Liverpool's academy ranks.

According to The Times, Liverpool are entering a period of uncertainty and players like Jones could depart. They claim Spurs are interested in the 24-year-old, who has started only 10 Premier League games this season, although whether this remains the case following the acquisition of Gallagher from Atletico Madrid remains to be seen.

Speaking in 2020, Klopp was stunned by a teenage Jones after he played a starring role in a 7-2 Carabao Cup win against Lincoln. He had been bringing the midfielder slowly into Liverpool's first team.

When asked about Jones, who bagged two goals in the win, Klopp had nothing but praise and said: "First half really good, start of the second half really good.

"There is still space for improvement but everyone knows my opinion of Curtis Jones, he is an exceptional talent and we will have some fun with him I am pretty sure in the future.

"Both goals were difficult. The second one the first touch was absolutely exceptional between two opponents and then he opens up and sees the opportunity and finishes it off."

In the years to come Jones would become a valuable member of Klopp's squad, winning a pair of Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cup crowns.

When Klopp left Liverpool in 2024, a documentary was produced about his time in charge and he once again had some positive and choice words about the English midfielder.

"He was never in doubt that he will make it, which I love that so much," said Klopp on the programme. "It's so different to my personality. I have no idea how I arrived here, he knows he's absolutely in the right place.

"I always could understand the player. That they hated me if they didn't come on or didn't start, or whatever, because I was no different.

"So when I go and tell him 'Curtis, you have to pass the ball more often'. And he has to learn that the ball from now on when he passes to whoever, there's a good chance he will do something special, or you'll get it back."

A number of managers have been mentioned in connection with the Tottenham Hotspur job after defeat to West Ham saw pressure mount on Thomas Frank

With the pressure growing on Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank, discussion has turned to who might replace the Dane in North London if his time is indeed up. One man in the mix is Xavi, who has been out of work since leaving Barcelona in 2024.

Frank only took over from Ange Postecoglou over the summer but finds himself in the firing line after a dismal league record. Saturday's defeat at home to West Ham left Spurs 14th in the Premier League table after just two wins from their last 13 matches and just two home league victories all season.

Xavi has been linked with Premier League jobs before and was one of the names floated as a potential successor to Enzo Maresca at Chelsea before the Blues opted for Liam Rosenior. While there's no guarantee he would take the Spurs job if offered, the former Spain midfielder has spoken of a desire to one day manage in England.

"Of course? Where, I don’t know," Xavi told The Athletic in 2025 when asked about an eventual return to the dugout.

"There’s no hurry for me, but I’d like a good project. Like, ‘You have four years to work and make a project’. I’d love to work in the Premier League because I love the passion there. In Spain, it’s too much about the result."

Xavi made particular reference to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta as a manager trusted with a project. The Gunners boss has now passed six years in the dugout at Emirates Stadium and has seen a notable improvement after a challenging start.

"Arteta with Arsenal – it’s his sixth year with Arsenal and there were seasons when it was difficult, but his club trusted the process and continued. He’s doing well. That doesn’t happen in Spain," Xavi added.

Frank may well remain in charge for Spurs' Champions League meeting with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. This is despite boos ringing out after Saturday's home defeat, which represented visitors West Ham's first league win in more than two months.

"It's tough to take, it hurts a lot," the manager told Sky Sports after that loss. "The boys put everything in, and that's a sign of a squad that is fighting, doing everything they can to try and win. It's fair to say if there was to be a winner in the second half then it should have been us.

"The way we came back into it, the same as at Bournemouth, both games we lost in the last minute. That makes it emotionally tough for the players, me, the club, the fans, everyone. We conceded on a deflected shot and a last-minute corner, which we should have done better with."

The bookies are already speculating who could be in the run-in to replace Thomas Frank as the pressure continues to pile on the Tottenham Hotspur head coach

It is almost a matter of when, not if, Thomas Frank is shown the door at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the final as the Spurs boss. With poor form, a fanbase disgruntled and a poor style of play enforced, it is no wonder that all pundits seem to think the former Brentford will be the next Premier League manager to get the sack.

Thomas Frank is under immense pressure at Tottenham after a 2-1 loss to West Ham on Saturday afternoon. The Tottenham manager now faces a battle to save his job in North London, with the painful defeat to struggling West Ham adding to his troubles. The Hammers secured their first Premier League victory since early November at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Callum Wilson scoring a stoppage-time winner to seal a crucial three points for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. The result leaves Spurs languishing in 14th place after 22 matches this season.

Frank’s woes were compounded last weekend when Tottenham were knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa in front of their home fans, extending a disappointing run of form at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. While the club’s board has so far shown patience with the former Brentford boss, frustration among supporters continues to mount.

Who is the favourite to become the next Tottenham Manager?

The bookies have two early contenders as joint-favourites with Spaniards Xabi Alonso and Xavi both trading at 3/1 with BetVictor. The news as Frank's future continues to be clouded will no doubt be filled by speculation and loose connections as Spurs seek an immediate turnaround to an otherwise torrid season so far.

Alonso will be in no rush to return to management just yet after he was sacked at Real Madrid after losing the dressing room and losing the Copa del Rey final to arch-rivals Barcelona. Meanwhile, Barca legend Xavi is understood to be keen to return to management two years after leaving the Catalan club.

Other possible options for the Spurs board to consider is familiar face Mauricio Pochettino at 4/1 but with the World Cup this summer, there is huge doubt the Argentine will leave the USA post just five months from hosting the contest. A more realistic option could be Oliver Glasner who has announced he will be leaving Crystal Palace at the end of the season but fellow Premier League side Manchester United have been long-time admirers of the Austrian.

Next Spurs Manager Odds

Xabi Alonso - 3/1

Xavi - 3/1

Mauricio Pochettino - 4/1

Oliver Glasner - 4/1

Ruben Amorim - 6/1

Enzo Maresca - 8/1

Jurgen Klopp - 12/1

Roberto De Zerbi - 12/1

Marco Silva - 12/1

BAR - 14/1
