Here's the Tottenham Hotspur team we reckon Ange Postecoglou will select to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-final second leg

Ange Postecoglou will have to name a Tottenham Hotspur team without his captain Son Heung-min for the Europa League quarter-final second leg at Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday evening.

Spurs' season and likely Postecoglou's immediate future hinges upon the outcome of this match in Germany and the Australian revealed to football.london in his pre-match press conference on Wednesday night at the Deutsche Bank Park that his skipper Son had not made the trip across from north London as he has a foot injury that has been troubling him for a few weeks and has got too painful.

Postecoglou must make a decision on who fills the South Korean star's spot as well as making calls on the fitness of players like Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison and Wilson Odobert, while centre-back Kevin Danso has returned to training after more than a month out with injury.

Here's the Tottenham team that we reckon the Spurs head coach will select to face Frankfurt in the crunch clash in Germany on Thursday evening.

Right-back - Pedro Porro

The Spain international got a rest on Sunday and Postecoglou will want another clinincal display after that great goal in the first leg.

Centre-back - Micky van de Ven

The Dutchman said on Wednesday that he is ready and raring to go and doesn't want to be rested for games like Sunday's.

Central midfield - Lucas Bergvall

Right wing - Dejan Kulusevski

The Swede played 19 minutes or so on Sunday but he's super fit and with another three days of training in the bank Postecoglou may be tempted to start one of his best players for an hour or so.

Centre forward - Dominic Solanke

It's been 11 games without a goal but Spurs need the hard-working England international to break his drought and they need to give him the ball to do so.

Left wing - Wilson Odobert

It all comes down to the Frenchman's fitness. If he's fit enough to start then he's Postecoglou's likely Son replacement down the left. If not then Johnson or Tel will come in.(Image: Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)
