TOTTENHAM will be without rookie striker Troy Parrott – who has undergone an emergency appendix operation.
The 18-year-old went to hospital with suspected appendicitis and immediately had the appendix removed.

The forward will be out for at least a month.
He is now very doubtful to play any action during the remainder of the season.
Tottenham’s last game is in mid-July and by the time he is match fit the campaign will be virtually finished.
The good news for Spurs is that Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are back to lead the line in the restart at home to Manchester United the weekend of June 18-19.
New £27million Steven Bergwijn can also play in attack and is fully fit after being injured in January.
It has been a difficult first season with the first team for young Irishman Parrott.
Boss Jose Mourinho clearly does not feel he is yet ready to step up to the plate and only gave him brief cameo roles as a sub in some games, despite the Portuguese being without Kane and Son.
And this appendix operation is the latest blow.
Tottenham confirmed he had undergone surgery.
Parrott made his debut in the disastrous Carabao Cup defeat at League Two Colchester.
