Their most recent setback was a 1-0 loss to London rivals Chelsea, which saw frustrated fans boo Frank and his players at full-time.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s fixture, however, gives Tottenham a chance to bounce back as they host the Danish champions at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Spurs dealing with injuries before key Champions League match<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham\u2019s home record has been poor this season, with only one win from five league games, but they\u2019ll need to turn that around if they want to stay in the race for automatic qualification. Spurs currently sit 15th in the league phase table, just one point off eighth place, making a win vital.<\/p>\n<p>Frank has only 22 players available, but there were some positives in the Chelsea game as Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie and Wilson Odobert all returned from injury and are now fit for selection.<\/p>\n<p>Dominic Solanke remains sidelined and isn\u2019t expected back until after the international break.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Djed Spence, Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Bergvall were absent from training earlier today at Hotspur Way. Other injured players are not registered for the competition, so their absence has no immediate impact.<\/p>\n<p>Archie Gray is still unavailable, and Frank has now offered clarity on the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Football London, he said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLucas suffered a concussion, which was clear from the footage. Huge credit to the medical staff \u2013 it\u2019s not easy making that call two minutes into a game, but the player\u2019s safety comes first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDjed and Mo both took knocks.
