Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino hopes Christian Eriksen’s injury is not too serious.
The Denmark international will not play in Spurs’ Premier League game at Huddersfield after picking up an abdomen injury at Brighton last weekend.
Eriksen is a key player for Spurs and Pochettino is hopeful he will be fit to face Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday.
“After the game against Brighton he started to feel a small problem in his abdominal,” he said.
“I think it’s a small thing. I hope for next week he will be available again. For Barcelona? I hope yes.”
Spurs will assess captain Hugo Lloris, who has not played since injuring his thigh at Manchester United, and he might be fit to feature in West Yorkshire.
“We need to assess him tomorrow. He’s doing very well,” Pochettino added. “The decision will be on Friday if he will be available to play against Huddersfield.
“The position is so specialist than another, it is so tough the time waiting for your opportunity.
“But we are so happy because our goalkeeping coach Tony Jimenez is doing a fantastic job keeping all the keepers awake and ready to play.
“It is a difficult mental situation for the keepers that aren’t playing too much but now you can see the job and they can pay back all the work in the past.”
