Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed that Nacer Chadli, Etienne Capoue and Aaron Lennon will miss this evening's Europa League clash against Tromso IL.

Belgian winger Chadli is struggling with a thigh strain, while Capoue and Lennon will miss out with ankle and foot injuries respectively.

"[Chadli is] making good progress, so hopefully we'll see him involved again soon," the Portuguese coach told reporters.

"The rest of the players apart from Lennon and Capoue have trained. The team is ready for the challenge."

Spurs were knocked out in the quarter-finals of last season's Europa League by Basel.
