Tottenham have been handed a double injury boost ahead of their Champions League semi-final, second leg, against Ajax.

Both Erik Lamela and Serge Aurier have returned to training ahead of the game in Amsterdam, while Jan Vertonghen is also available but will have to wear a mask.

The Belgian was cleared of suffering a concussion following a clash of heads with Toby Alderweireld during the first half against Erik ten Hag's side last week, though missed Saturday's game against Bournemouth.

Mauricio Pochettino, however, will be without defender Davinson Sanchez who picked up a thigh problem in the defeat at Bournemouth.

The Argentinian coach also revealed that despite Aurier's return to training, he has not made the trip to the Netherlands.

With Harry Kane and Harry Winks among the missing in the first leg, youngsters Kyle Walker-Peters and Oliver Skipp were named on the bench.

Pochettino will welcome the return of Heung-min Son for Wednesday night's game, with Spurs trailing 1-0, with the South Korean having been suspended for the first leg.
