The former top scorer Dominic Solanke in Bournemouth lasted 20 minutes as a late replacement before falling off against Alkmaar, but Posetecoglou described the striker’s back injury as “knocking” and did not exclude it.
Defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero remained unused replacement against the Dutch side in a late decision by Postecoglou.
“When I saw the field, I decided that I would not risk it,” said the Australian. “A few additional days of training and you will be in the mix.”
Ben Davies “advanced” and has a chance to return from an injury, but defender Radu Dragusin, attacker Dejan Kulusevski and striker Richarlison are among the other absent from Postecoglous.
🚨ange Postecoglou insisted that a “tricky pitch” was partly responsible for Tottenham’s “disappointing performance” at AZ Alkmaar:
🗣️ ”It was a tricky pitch and we really didn’t do it well. Apart from that, we were simply not aggressive enough. “#THFC | #Coyspic.twitter.com/zpghlzzlef

Central defender Illia Zabarnyi will serve the last game of a three-game suspension for Bournemouth, but right-back Julian Araujo is available after the thigh operation.
Ryan Christie is a doubt about a groin injury that lacked the midfielder against wolves, while defenders Marcos Senesi and Adam Smith and Forward Enes remain.
