Tottenham injury, suspension list vs. Roma: Will Cristian Romero return?

Tottenham Hotspur return to action on Thursday evening when they play host to Roma in the Europa League.

Ange Postecoglou's side head into this contest on the back of one of their most memorable victories in recent years, a 4-0 demolition of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

However, there is work to do in this competition with the defeat to Galatasaray on matchday four leaving Spurs down in seventh place in the Europa League table, just three points separating them to 18th position.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of their showdown with Roma, who have just appointed Claudio Ranieri as their new manager.
