Antonio Conte will be forced to name an inexperienced midfield as an injury-hit Tottenham play AC Milan in their round of 16 first-leg tie at the San Siro tonight.
The north London side, who just over a week ago were flying high following their impressive victory over Manchester City, are now in somewhat of a crisis after losing a number of key players to injury - and having been thumped 4-1 by Leicester.
Tottenham on Monday confirmed Rodrigo Bentancur will miss the rest of the season after rupturing ACL ligaments in the defeat to Leicester, while fellow midfielder Yves Bissouma faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines having undergone ankle surgery.
