Richarlison remains unavailable due to a hamstring issue, while Joao Palhinha picked up a knock ahead of the West Ham fixture and was not included in the matchday squad.
Archie Gray and Xavi Simons should return in time to make the starting XI at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The likes of Radu Dragusin, Mathys Tel, Yves Bissouma, and Conor Gallagher are ineligible for the Spurs Champions League squad on Tuesday.
James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski also remain sidelined, although the latter is edging closer to a return.
Borussia Dortmund also arrive with concerns of their own, with Aaron Anselmino sidelined due to a muscle injury, while Marcel Sabitzer is unavailable after picking up a calf problem.
Pressure mounts on Thomas Frank
Thomas Frank is a man under intense pressure and cannot afford another defeat, with his Tottenham future appearing to hinge on the outcome of this fixture.

Despite the growing tension between Frank and sections of the fanbase, it is understood that the Dane will take charge of this match against Dortmund.
However, another loss could well spell the end of his tenure, as Spurs are believed to be weighing up a managerial change, making Tuesday night a pivotal moment.
