Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham Hotspur's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash with Sporting Lisbon.

Tottenham Hotspur will hope to push their Premier League woes to one side and seal qualification for the Champions League knockout stages when they tackle Sporting Lisbon in North London on Wednesday night.

Antonio Conte's side sit at the top of Group D with seven points to their name and will ensure that they cannot be caught by Sporting or Eintracht Frankfurt with a win on Wednesday.

However, Spurs suffered their second successive Premier League defeat at home to Newcastle United at the weekend, with Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron netting before Harry Kane's consolation in a 2-1 defeat.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Sporting, who sit third in the tightly-fought section with six points.

Dejan Kulusevski

Status: Out
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: Unknown

Dejan Kulusevski's thigh problem is proving more difficult to overcome than initially anticipated. The Swedish attacker will certainly miss this game, and Conte could not guarantee that he would be back in action before the World Cup.

---

Richarlison

Status: Out
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: Unknown

The calf injury that Richarlison suffered against Everton is not as serious as first feared, and he will hope to be back before the World Cup, but Wednesday's game will come too soon for him.

Cristian Romero

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Calf
Possible return date: October 26 (vs. Sporting)

Cristian Romero was unable to take part in the loss to Newcastle due to a calf injury, and having missed training on Tuesday morning, he is facing a race against time to prove his fitness.

---

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg

Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Thigh
Possible return date: October 26 (vs. Sporting)

As is the case with Romero, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was not involved at the weekend or in Tuesday's training session due to a minor thigh problem, but he will be given every opportunity to recover in time for this game.

TOTTENHAM'S SUSPENSION LIST

Tottenham have no players suspended for this match, but Rodrigo Bentancur, Eric Dier and Hojbjerg are all one yellow card away from a European ban.
