Spurs plan Inter date minus five
The Tottenham manager will be forced to make changes against Rafa Benitez’s side after influential player Rafael van der Vaart became the latest to be ruled out of the Champions League Group A game. The Netherlands international limped off with a hamstring injury during his side’s 2-0 defeat at Manchester United on Saturday.
In addition, keeper Heurelho Gomes is suspended after being sent off in the San Siro two weeks ago while centre-backs Michael Dawson and Ledley King remain sidelined with injuries along with England forward Jermain Defoe.
