Spurs battling defensive crisis as Ange Postecoglou prepares for Glasgow return

Close

Tottenham are in the midst of a defensive injury nightmare as they prepare to face Rangers in the Europa League tonight.

Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray, 18, are expected to deputise in central defence in Glasgow this evening, with Postecoglou admitting he will likely have to “get creative” in the next six matches.

Teenager Will Lankshear could make a third start in the Europa League up front to give Dominic Solanke a rest, while Timo Werner is likely to come into the XI. Brennan Johnson should be fine to feature after illness.

Ben Davies, Wilson Odobert, Richarlison (all hamstring), Guglielmo Vicario (foot) and Mikey Moore (illness) are also sidelined, while Djed Spence and Sergio Reguilon are not in Tottenham’s Europa League squad.

Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Udogie; Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison; Werner, Johnson, Lankshear

Injured: Van de Ven, Romero, Odobert, Davies, Richarlison, Vicario, Moore
