Tottenham team vs Bodo/Glimt confirmed - Richarlison and Dominic Solanke start together

Ange Postecoglou has named the Tottenham team that he believes can take a place in the Europa League final by overcoming Bodo/Glimt on Thursday evening.

Spurs have arrived in the Norwegian town with a 3-1 lead for the semi-final second leg in Norway and know that similar display to the first leg or their win away in Frankfurt in the quarter-finals would see them through to the final in Bilbao later this month. Postecoglou has some big absences with James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall ruled out for the final weeks of the season with knee and ankle injuries respectively.

Captain Son Heung-min is almost back from his foot injury but not in time for this game. However, striker Dominic Solanke returned to training this week and starts after the quad muscle problem he felt in the first leg in north London.

On the left wing in Son's absence, Richarlison has been given the nod after getting the start in the first leg, while the Tottenham boss has chosen Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie as the full-backs in what is the same team, apart from Maddison, as he put out in the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Here's the Spurs starting XI that Postecoglou has selected for the semi-final second leg:

Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Bissouma, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Richarlison. Subs: Austin, Whiteman, Danso, Davies, Spence, Gray, Sarr, Olusesi, Odobert, Ajayi, Tel, Moore.
