Spurs' 25-man squad for their return to Europe's elite club competition doesn't feature Kota Takai, Radu Dragusin, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski or Mathys Tel.

The omission of England international Maddison, 28, comes as no surprise,

The midfielder suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury in the club's pre-season friendly against Newcastle in August.

Summer signing Takai is also in the treatment room with a plantar fascia injury, and his return date is currently unknown.

Dragusin and Kulusevski haven't made the cut as they, like Maddison, are dealing with knee injuries.

It's understood that Dragusin could be back to full fitness late next month.

Sweden international Kulusevski, meanwhile, is on course to return in late November.

Bissouma, who has yet to feature this season, is dealing with an unknown muscular injury.

Tottenham sealed their spot back in the promised land of European football last May by winning last season's Europa League.

A scrappy 1-0 win over Prem rivals Manchester United in Bilbao in what was Ange Postecoglou's swansong ended the club's 17-year wait for silverware and earned them a place among Europe's elite.

Tottenham can solve £43m Thomas Frank dilemma with free transfer agreement: Tottenham are considering a move for Julian Brandt, whose contract at Borussia Dortmund expires in 2026. The versatile midfielder could address Spurs' creative midfield issues, especially with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski sidelined long-term.
