Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has revealed that Andros Townsend, Kyle Walker and Paulinho will play no part in this evening's Europa League encounter with Sheriff Tiraspol.
The North London side make the trip to Moldova looking to make it three wins out of three in Group K, which they lead by four points over tonight's opponents.
"We have left three players at home - Andros, Kyle Walker and Paulinho - but we have still brought a very strong squad," the Portuguese coach told reporters.
"The players will embrace this game with that motivation and they have been excellent so far in this competition."
Emmanuel Adebayor is back in the squad, but Etienne Capoue (ankle), Younes Kaboul (thigh) and Danny Rose (foot) remain on the treatment table.
