Postecoglou’s side now face a reunion with AZ, who caused an upset by eliminating Galatasaray in the play-off round. In the ranks of the Dutch side is Troy Parrott, who left Spurs for the Netherlands last summer in a £6.7m deal. Parrott has scored 17 goals in all competitions this season and was the Eredivisie’s Player of the Month for December.

Ange Postecoglou has received a huge boost ahead of tonight’s clash with Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke having all travelled. The key trio are back available after long spells on the sidelines. However, Postecoglou is likely to take a cautious approach to their reintroduction.

Dejan Kulusevki was pictured in a protective boot this week and is a doubt, while Radu Dragusin (ACL) and Richarlison are out. Antonin Kinsky, Fraser Forster, Sergio Reguilon and Timo Werner are all ineligible after being left out of the Europa League squad. Mathys Tel and Kevin Danso have been added after arriving in January.
