Tottenham XI vs Bodo/Glimt: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Europa League

Spurs fitness woes grow again before crucial semi-final second-leg decider in Norway

Ange Postecoglou will be without two of his captains and three of his most creative players for Tottenham's Europa League semi-final decider against Bodo/Glimt in Norway.

Vice-captain James Maddison (knee) and Lucas Bergvall (ankle) have both been ruled out for the rest of the season with ligament damage, while skipper Heung-min Son has not travelled as he continues to nurse a foot injury.

Yves Bissouma deputised for Bergvall in the first leg and is likely to keep his place at the base of midfield after his best performance in weeks, while Dejan Kulusevski is the obvious replacement for Maddison at No10.

Richarlison played his part in Spurs' 3-1 first-leg win, setting up Brennan Johnson's 38-second opener before being hooked at the interval and could continue on the left flank, with the Wales winger and Dominic Solanke likely to make up the front three.

Solanke has trained for the past two days after being forced off with a quad injury in the first leg and missing Sunday's draw at West Ham. Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert both impressed against the Hammers but may be used from the bench in Bodo.

Postecoglou's back five is likely to remain the same, with Destiny Udogie having moved ahead of Djed Spence at left-back since returning to fitness and form in recent weeks, while Rodrigo Bentancur is a shoo-in in midfield.

Radu Dragusin (knee) is also sidelined, while Sergio Reguilon, Antonin Kinsky and Timo Werner are ineligible in Europe.
