Jose Mourinho has revealed that three of his first-team players will be unavailable for Tottenham’s Europa League game against Ludogorets today.
The Lilywhites will take on the Bulgarian champions in Europe’s second-biggest club competition looking to bounce back from their 1-0 loss to Royal Antwerp last time out.
This competition has afforded Mourinho the opportunity to rest his main men and to give minutes to the likes of Gareth Bale and Carlos Vinicius.
However, after losing their last game 1-0 at Antwerp, the Special One will be looking to get back to winning ways in this game and he will likely start some of his best players.
With that in mind, the gaffer has also been forced to not use some of his first-team players for this game.
He confirmed during a press conference that he will be without the services of Sergio Reguilon, Serge Aurier and Erik Lamela.
“Reguilon is ill but not a Covid situation, just flu and we don’t want him to be with the team,” he said via Express Sport.
“Lamela was having a little problem for a few weeks and after the last game we decided that was the moment to stop and have this week plus the two weeks of internationals out to recover fully and Aurier a little problem, nothing important.
“He decided that with the medical team.”
