And they now also be without Sarr for the clash after he had to pull out of training earlier today.

That means Postecoglou has as many as 11 stars sidelined through injury.

To add insult to injury, three players who are fit are unavailable to play due to them not being registered in the competition.

Those are Djed Spence, Antonin Kinsky and Sergio Reguilon.

However, the pair remain doubtful of being selected.

That means Spurs will be forced to field a makeshift XI of stars for the crunch tie.

The stars ruled out are as follows: Guglielmo Vicario, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Micky Van de Ven, Wilson Odobert, Yves Bissouma, Fraser Forster, Sarr and the aforementioned Romero, Bentancur doubtful.
