The former top scorer in Bournemouth, Dominic Solanke, lasted 20 minutes as a late substitute before limping against Alkmaar, but Postcoglou described the striker’s back injury as a “blow” and did not exclude him.
The other defenders Micky Van de Ven and Cristian Romero have remained unused substitutes against the Dutch team in a late Dethine de PostCoglou decision.
“When I saw the field, I decided that I was not going to risk them,” said the Australian. “A few more days of training and they will be in the mixture.”
Ben Davies has “progressed” and “a chance” to return from the injury, but defender Radu Dragusin, striker Dejan Kulusevski and striker Richarlison are among the other absent from Postcoglou.
🚨Ange Postcoclou insisted that a “delicate field” was partly to blame for the “disappointing performance” of Tottenham in Az Alkmaar:
🗣️ »It was a delicate field and we really did not manage it well. Aside from that, we were simply not aggressive enough. »»#THFC | #Coyspic.twitter.com/zpghlzzflf

The central defender Illia Zabarnyi will witness the final match of a three-game suspension for Bournemouth, but the right back Julian Araujo is available after swollen surgery.
Ryan Christie is a doubt with an injury to the groin that prevented the midfielder against the Wolves, while defenders Marcos Senesi and Adam Smith and the unical attacker remain extinct.
