Tottenham Hotspur will be without captain Son Heung-Min for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt. The 32-year-old South Korean did not travel to Germany, with manager Ange Postecoglou confirming Son is the only senior player absent due to a persistent foot injury.
Son had featured in the 1-1 first-leg draw but also missed Spurs’ 4-2 Premier League defeat at Wolves. Despite Son’s absence, Spurs have received a boost with the return of Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Kevin Danso. Kulusevski made his comeback from injury after a two-month layoff, while Richarlison marked his return with a goal at Wolves. Danso, sidelined for six weeks, also trained in Germany and is available for selection.
Loanee Mathys Tel, who replaced Son at Wolves and scored, could feature again. Wilson Odobert also returns to the squad. Micky van de Ven may start in defence alongside Cristian Romero. Only long-term absentee Radu Dragusin joins Son on the sidelines for this crucial tie.
