The final southbound Weaver line train is scheduled to depart from White Hart Lane at 12.23am. The final northbound Weaver line service to Cheshunt is scheduled to depart at 12.07am, with the final service to Enfield Town due to depart at 12.22am.

Supporters travelling to Liverpool Street post-match are reminded that Northumberland Park services have greater capacity and frequency to those at White Hart Lane, and the journey time should be shorter as there are fewer stops.

White Hart Lane is a fully accessible station.

Tottenham Hale

Tottenham Hale is a fully accessible station and is served by the Victoria line and Greater Anglia services.

Supporters travelling on the Victoria line are encouraged to use Tottenham Hale rather than Seven Sisters as it is a shorter journey to and from the stadium. Victoria line services will operate every 2-3 minutes in both directions before the game and every 3-4 minutes afterwards, with the last southbound train due to depart at 12.14am.

There will be 12 Greater Anglia services per hour operating in each direction through Tottenham Hale, including 4 Stansted Express trains each way. We recommend using Northumberland Park for Greater Anglia services as it is a shorter distance to the stadium than Tottenham Hale.

Pre-match, a diversion route will be in place at Birstall Road for pedestrians entering Seven Sisters station for interchange between the Victoria line and London Overground services. This is to avoid congestion on the northbound platform.

We encourage supporters to consider using Tottenham Hale for Victoria Line services as it is a shorter distance to the stadium than Seven Sisters.

At each station, the queue management staff are in contact with the Station Managers who will confirm when platforms are clear to enable more passengers to enter the station.

Presser points | Eintracht Frankfurt vs Spurs | Micky van de Ven - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Micky van de Ven spoke to the media in Frankfurt on Wednesday evening, ahead of Thursday night's UEFA Europa League quarter-final, second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt (8pm UK).

Here's what he had to say...

Micky on how he's feeling at the moment...

"I'm feeling well. Every week you play a game... teams that don't play Europe, they play like this, so you play on a weekend, have a week off and then play on the weekend again. So to be honest I feel good, I feel recovered and I feel sharp. I'm ready to go."

Micky on wanting to 'win for Ange'...

"We all still have the trust in the gaffer and still have trust in the way he's playing, so tomorrow we want to win the game of course for him, but also for us, also for the club, and also for the fans. It hasn't been a really good season, but it's a big game for us and of course we want to achieve something special this season. I think this is the best way to do it."

Micky on if 'the season hinges on this'...

"We also have some Premier League games to play, but if we want to win some silverware, of course it has to be the Europa League, and we have to win this game to go to the next round. It's a big game for us."

Micky on Ange's message to the players...

"That it's a big game for us, but it's also a game like every week. We have to play our best football, we have to play the way we want to play, we want to create as many chances as we did in the last game against them. Hopefully we can win this game and go to the next round."

Micky on if he's worried about the longer-term impact of his injuries...

"No, not really. I recovered well. Of course, I had some same injuries in the last couple of years, but I'm feeling well and I'm not really worried about something for my future. I know I train and do everything to make my hamstrings as strong as possible, and the rest of my body also, so I don't really stress about something for my future for my hamstrings."

Micky on the atmosphere in Frankfurt...

"I know it's going to be a good atmosphere. The last time I played here with Wolfsburg was also a tough game, the fans are really behind the team, so it will be like a 12th man, but we should be fine. There will be noise but we need to focus on the pitch, that's the most important thing. It's going to be a good atmosphere, but we're ready for it."

Micky on Vicario and Romero's reaction to mistakes at Wolves...

"I think making a mistake is normal. Of course, after the game they were sad to make mistakes because they expect better from themselves. It can happen that you can make a mistake and after the game you can’t accept that from yourself. If you look at them now they are ready to go for the game tomorrow and they are as sharp as they normally are."

Micky on his fitness situation...

"I’m feeling well. I’ve seen some people outside of the training ground, some specialists. They have been helping me with running and understanding my body a bit more, so I've learned some things from them. Like I said, I feel really good right now and ready to go."

Micky on playing in every game and the importance of European football...

"Of course I want to play every game. Football is what you love the most, every game you want to play. But yeah, Europa League is a really important competition for us this season, we have some Premier League games ahead of us but if we want to win some silverware and qualify for a European tournament next season, then of course, the Europa League is a really important stage for us."

Micky on proving something to our fans...

"It hasn't been our best season and the fans want us to play better, they expect us to do better, but we also want to prove to them that we have the quality and ability, and when everybody is fit and the whole team is strong, we can achieve some beautiful things. Hopefully, we can show this tomorrow to our own fans but also to those that are doubting us."

Micky on taking confidence from the second leg comeback against AZ in the Round of 16...

"Also, in the first leg against Frankfurt, we played a really good game, we created a lot of chances. We drew, but that gave us a lot of confidence. It showed us that we can play against this strong Frankfurt team. We have confidence for tomorrow and we want to show what we did in the first leg and hopefully we can go through to the next round."

Micky on leadership...

"I want to help the guys like I always do, this is a very big game, it's the quarter-final of a European competition. I want to go into every game in the same way and help the guys push towards the goal we want to reach."

Micky on Eintracht Frankfurt forward, Hugo Ekitike...

"He's a really good player and scored a really good goal against us. You can see his quality. Tomorrow it's going to be me and the players playing next to me, it's going to be our job to eliminate him from the game tomorrow. He's an unbelievable threat from them, a really good player, we want to eliminate him tomorrow and get the win."

Presser points | Eintracht Frankfurt vs Spurs | Ange Postecoglou - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Ange Postecoglou spoke to the media at the Deutsche Bank Stadium on Wednesday evening, ahead of our UEFA Europa League quarter-final, second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt.

With the tie level at 1-1, here's what he had to say...

Ange on if this is a 'chance to salvage the season' and his message to the players...

"I don't see it as salvaging the season, I see it as an opportunity to do something special, so it depends on your outlook on life. We're at a point where we've got an opportunity to get to a semi-final of major competition, obviously we know the challenges before us, so that's what we're excited about. These opportunities don't come around very often, even if you're having a very good season, sometimes they don't come around, so why not take it? That's the message to the players as well, irrespective of everything else that's happened this year, we're a game away from the final four of a major competition and you shouldn't just take that for granted in terms of something that's a regular recurrence, so take advantage of it."

Ange on team news...

"Sonny didn't travel in the end. He's the only one who misses out. He's been battling with his foot problem for a few weeks now, he's managed through it but it got too painful over the last few days. He tried to train yesterday and it just wasn't right, so we've made the decision to leave him at home to recuperate. Everyone else is good, the notable addition is Kevin (Danso) who has trained and is available as well."

Ange on Sonny's absence...

"It’s a blow, but it’s consistent with everything else that’s happened this year, so it’s just another challenge for us to overcome. Unfortunate for him and he tried really hard. The reason we left him out at the weekend was to give him time to recover because he’s been struggling for a couple of weeks now, but he couldn’t make it. You know, we’ve had these challenges all year and it’s just another we need to overcome."

Ange on Dominic Solanke...

"Dom has fought really hard for the team. He’s going to be important for us tomorrow night and we’re really looking forward to his contribution."

Ange on if the narrative over his future is a 'personal burden'...

"No, not at all, because I don’t define my career and me as a person by what people think about me. I never have, never will. If you don’t think I’m a good coach today, you won’t think I’m a good coach tomorrow, even if we win. One game isn't going to make a difference to that. You either think I’m capable of doing the job now or you don’t. That’s where I sit with these things. If people think that us winning tomorrow all of a sudden makes me a better manager than what I am today or us losing tomorrow somehow makes me a worse manager, I guess that’s their burden, not mine. I don’t think that way and I don’t think most people think that way. Or I’d like to think they don’t, in terms of their own sort of self esteem and who they are as people. I couldn’t care less, really, I couldn’t care less. There’s no burden on me, there’s no anxiety on me. What I’m sitting here doing is thinking we’ve got a great opportunity to get to the final four of a major tournament. I’m not going to let that slip by without fighting tooth and nail for it irrespective of what may come the day after."

Ange on having everyone fit - apart from Sonny - and if Deki Kulusevski is ready to start...

"It’s massively positive because you realise when we’ve got everyone together, we’ve got a really exciting young squad that I think we can build on. Irrespective of how the game goes, we have got opportunities to make impacts with substitutions, and just the general feeling around the place. The other thing it does, apart from Sonny, obviously, which is really disappointing, everyone's excited, all the players are looking forward to it. We've had a lot of players who have had to train on their own, deal with the mental grind of trying to get themselves back in amongst the group, and that affects the general feeling around the place because invariably there isn't this overwhelming feeling of everyone being in it together because players have got their own individual battles to overcome. We've had more doing that than as a core group to solidify those things you need to in terms of team spirit. So just having the whole group together, the dynamics of training, the dynamics of the dressing room, even the dynamics when you travel. For the most part, everyone's got their best buddy with them. They're not back at home. It's a good feeling and you miss it when you've had the kind of season we've had."

Ange on the importance of our senior players in Frankfurt's atmosphere...

"Playing away in Europe, it's always a challenge. The experiences we've had this year have been good for that, we've visited some tough places in terms of atmospheres - Galatasaray away, Ibrox, AZ. And a lot of our younger players got exposed to that which I think will be helpful. But there's no doubt that come tomorrow, the experienced guys in the squad who have probably been through something similar will be hugely important for us. Having the key ones apart from Sonny all being fit and available, and feeling good in terms of conditioning, is going to be important."

Season ends with a flourish for our Women’s Under-21s

Season ends with a flourish for our Women’s Under-21s - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

A fantastic second-half performance saw our Women’s Under-21s conclude their Professional Game Academy League campaign with a 3-0 win at London City Lionesses on Wednesday afternoon.

After a goalless opening 45 minutes in Kent, the game burst into life in the second period as seven minutes after the restart, we broke the deadlock when defender Blue Bartlett-Antwi netted her first goal of the season with a composed finish from inside the box before Persis Oteng doubled our lead with a well-struck volley.

Mia Endacott capped off her impressive first season in our colours with a stunning solo goal for our third of the afternoon, taking her goal involvement tally to 21 (nine goals and 12 assists) in 29 games this term, and it could have been even more when we awarded a penalty in the closing stages of the game, although Heidi Hills was unable to convert from spot in what would have been a thoroughly deserved goal for the defender.

However, the dominant showing in the second half wrapped up a season full of progress and development for our Academy side, finishing our PGA campaign on 24 points from 16 games.

It was a quiet opening quarter-of-an-hour before we started to carve out opportunities, Endacott seeing her effort from a tight angle pushed over the bar before Grace Breen sent a header wide at the back post after connecting to Endacott’s cross. Jhanaie Pierre curled wide of the far post as we stepped up the tempo, however, it was the hosts who went the closest in the encounter on 19 minutes as Amelia Ajao raced behind our backline before Sophie Jackson pushed her lofted effort onto the crossbar.

Kendra Brown and Endacott were both denied by Emily Drinkwater-Robinson as we pushed for an opener while, at the other end, Millie Rayner headed over from just outside the six-yard box as both sides struggled to find a breakthrough in the first half. However, just seven minutes after the break, we eventually broke the deadlock as Lucy Barraclough played in Endacott on the right, her cross landed to Bartlett-Antwi inside the box, who stayed in position from a corner moments before, and she slotted home with her left-foot.

Four minutes later, and we doubled our advantage. Barraclough’s cross from the right was met by Oteng and her first-time volley crashed against the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net to grab her 19th goal of the campaign. Having set-up our opening goal, Endacott turned goalscorer in the 65th-minute, receiving the ball from Barraclough from about 30 yards out, she charged forward, gliding past two defenders with ease before firing a powerful effort into the far corner for our third of the game. With the swung momentum in our favour, we could have had a fourth shortly after, Endacott’s chipped ball from the right found substitute Faye Fields-Davies at the back post but she was unable to guide her side-footed volley on target.

Fresh from scoring a hat-trick to help our Under-16s lift silverware on Saturday, Eloise Summers-Mee caused panic in the home side’s backline, winning possession just inside our own half before advancing into the box but could only send her effort into the side-netting. Jackson had to maintain her concentration levels in the closing stages, pushing Ava Bullas’ driven shot around the post to preserve her clean sheet, while we had a golden opportunity to add a fourth in the final three minutes remaining in the contest.

We were awarded a penalty after Hills, who covered every inch of grass down the left-hand side, was brought down inside the box and she stepped up to take it, but the defender blasted her effort over the bar. Although we were unable to extend our advantage, it remained a positive afternoon for Nick Hardy’s side to bring an end to the Under-21s’ 2024/25 campaign.

"It was really important to finish on a high"

Reflecting on the game and the season overall, Hardy said: “It’s a brilliant way to finish the season and, for us, that was the message, it was really important to finish on a high, closing off the season in a positive manner but also finishing how we deserved as a group of players, with the journey we had this campaign, the improvement and the development. It has been a tough season but that’s because of the work put in, putting in incredible effort on and off the pitch, so a really positive and pleasing way to finish. If you look at the 90 minutes in this game, I felt it was a very professional, controlled performance and one we can really be proud of, in terms of our identity and style, we were exactly like what we want to be known for.”

Team news | Kevin Danso back to face Eintracht Frankfurt - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Kevin Danso has travelled to Germany and is available for our UEFA Europa League quarter-final, second leg against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night (8pm UK).

The defender picked up a hamstring issue against Bournemouth in the Premier League on 9 March, forcing him out of the first leg of our Round of 16 clash against AZ Alkmaar and six games in total in a five-week stint on the sidelines.

He’s trained in the last few days and is now available for this huge tie against the Bundesliga side.

Speaking to Inside Spurs at Deutsche Bank Park this evening, Ange told us: “Kevin is back with us, and that’s important. He’s worked hard to get back. Both he and Deki (Kulusevski) had this game as a target, Deki certainly got himself ready, and Kevin has worked hard to be available, as well.”

Unfortunately, Ange also reported that skipper Heung-Min Son misses out with a foot injury.

“Team-wise, we’re all good apart from Sonny,” he added. “He didn’t travel. He’s been battling with a foot problem for quite a while, he was really struggling in training yesterday. So we made the decision to leave him behind and let him get over it. Everyone else is good.”

Team news | Son to miss Frankfurt quarter-final second leg - Tottenham Hotspur
Description

Heung-Min Son has not travelled to Germany and will miss Thursday night's decisive Europa League quarter-final at Eintracht Frankfurt, disclosed Ange Postecoglou.

Sonny missed our Premier League trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday due to a foot injury and, although there was hope he would be back in time to feature in Europe, he is still feeling too much discomfort to play a part in the second leg.

The forward played 80 minutes of the first leg last week, with Pedro Porro's silky flicked finish cancelling out Hugo Ekitike's early opener as it ended 1-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and will frustratingly play no further part in the tie as we battle for a place in the competition's last four.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference at Deutsche Bank Park on Wednesday, our Head Coach confirmed our captain's absence: "Sonny didn't travel in the end, he's the only one that misses out.

"He's been battling with his foot problem for a few weeks now and managed [to play] through it. He trained the last few days, he tried to train yesterday and it wasn't right so we made the decision to leave him at home to allow him to recuperate and see the best mode of recovery for him."
