Vertonghen & Sissoko: Tottenham injury update ahead of Ajax

Tottenham vs Ajax

Tottenham are set to face Dutch outfit Ajax on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.

Spurs will then travel to Ajax for the return leg on May 8^th.

To reach the semi-final, Tottenham had to knock out Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 and fellow Premier League side Manchester City in the last eight.

As for Ajax, their road to the semis has been incredibly impressive.

They beat Real Madrid in the round of 16 before knocking out Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus in the quarter-final.

Tottenham injury update

Heading into the game Spurs look to be pretty short staffed for the first leg on Tuesday.

Heung-Min Son will miss out due to suspension.

Spurs will also be without Harry Winks, Serge Aurier and Harry Kane when facing Ajax at home.

Erik Lamela is also a doubt and was seen training alone on Monday.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side do have a bit of good news though as Moussa Sissoko and Jan Vertonghen trained ahead of the game.

Both Sissoko and Vertonghen missed Spurs last outing, which saw them lose 1-0 to West Ham.

Sissoko, in particular, has been a big miss for Tottenham over the last three games and having him back would be a huge boost.

However, with all their injuries, suspensions and Vincent Jansen not eligible for the UCL, it is possible Spurs may face Ajax without an attacking player on their bench.
