Tottenham lineup vs. Elfsborg: Predicted XI for Europa League clash

Tottenham Hotspur could be without as many as 12 players for Thursday's Europa League clash with Elfsborg in North London.

Six players who remain unavailable for selection are Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Dominic Solanke (knee), Brennan Johnson (calf), Destiny Udogie, Timo Werner and Wilson Odobert (all hamstring) as they continue to recover from injury.

Richarlison was forced off with a groin problem in Spurs' 2-1 Premier League defeat to Leicester City on Sunday and will be assessed ahead of kickoff, as will Pape Matar Sarr who "shouldn't have played" against the Foxes according to Ange Postecoglou due to his lack of fitness.

In addition, it remains to be seen whether Tottenham will welcome back Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Cristian Romero (thigh), James Maddison (unspecified) or Djed Spence (knock); the former two have returned to first-team training, though.

January signing Antonin Kinsky is ineligible for Thursday's Europa League clash, so Brandon Austin is set to deputise between the sticks, while a makeshift back four of Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies and Archie Gray may remain intact in none of Spurs' injured defenders recover in time.

Yves Bissouma could be recalled to start in midfield alongside Rodrigo Bentancur and Swedish teenager Lucas Bergvall, while Mikey Moore may be called upon to start in attack with Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Austin; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bergvall, Bissouma, Bentancur; Kulusevski, Son, Moore
