Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Pacos de Ferreira

Tottenham Hotspur's inaugural game of the Europa Conference League takes place on Thursday with a trip to Portuguese side Pacos de Ferreira in the first leg of the playoff round.

Nuno Espirito Santo's competitive reign began in perfect fashion with a 1-0 success over Premier League champions Manchester City at the weekend, with Son Heung-min scoring the winner in the 55th minute of the contest.

A reunion with Wolverhampton Wanderers is sandwiched in between these two continental ties for Nuno, whose side are vying to reach the group stages of Europe's tertiary competition.
