Tottenham injury, suspension list and return dates for Slavia Prague Champions League game: Destiny Udogie to return?

Destiny Udogie return? Tottenham injury and suspension list vs. Slavia Prague

Fresh from their 2-0 Premier League victory over Brentford, Thomas Frank and his men are now turning their focus to European duties as they prepare to host Czech giants Slavia Prague.

Spurs ended their five-match losing run with that home success over the Bees, and they will now be looking to make progress in the Champions League.

Frank's men are just two points behind the top eight, which guarantees entry straight into the round-of-16. With that in mind, Spurs will be looking to enhance their chances with a big home victory over a winless Slavia Prague side.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their Champions League clash on Tuesday.

Dejan Kulusevski

Status: Out

Type of injury: Knee

Possible return date: Unknown
