Thomas Frank has named his Tottenham Hotspur team for the Champions League clash against Monaco this evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The North Londoners are looking to bounce back after Tottenham lost 2-1 to Aston Villa<\/a> at the weekend in yet another disappointing home performance.<\/p>\n

Spurs were held to a 2-2 draw at Bodo\/Glimt<\/a> in match day two and need to return to winning ways at Monaco to keep pace with those looking for automatic qualification.<\/p>\n

Frank has had selection issues to deal with due to an injury crisis creeping back into Hotspur Way with a number of senior players unavailable for selection.<\/p>\n

Tottenham<\/a> club captain Cristian Romero<\/a> missed the defeat to Villa with an adductor problem and is once again sidelined, along with fellow defender Destiny Udogie<\/a>, who is managing a knee issue.<\/p>\n

Mathys Tel is unavailable for selection having been omitted from the Champions League squad<\/a>, while Ben Davies<\/a>, Yves Bissouma, Dominic Solanke, James Maddison<\/a>, Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai, and James Maddison also once again miss out.<\/p>\n

Micky van de Ven once again wears the captain\u2019s armband in the absence of Romero.<\/p>\n

Former Spurs defender Eric Dier misses a reunion with his old employer having recently sustained a muscular injury. Vanderson, Denis Zakria and Christian Mawissa and Paul Poga are also sidelined.<\/p>\n

This is the Tottenham team which takes to the field at the Stade Louis-II this evening:<\/p>\n
