Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Ludogorets

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to take another step towards the Europa League knockout stages when they face off against Bulgarian outfit Ludogorets Razgrad on Thursday evening.

Spurs are one of three sides currently sitting on six points in Group J, with Royal Antwerp and LASK Linz hot on the trail of Jose Mourinho's team, who top the rankings heading into gameweek four.
