Tottenham team news: Jan Vertonghen fit to face Ajax, but Davinson Sanchez is ruled out

Tottenham centre-back Jan Vertonghen is fit to face his former club Ajax in the Champions League semi-final second leg, Spurs have confirmed.

The Belgian suffered a sickening head injury in last week's first leg, which sparked a debate about concussion protocol after he tried to play on.

Tests proved he did not suffer from concussion and he is likely to play in Amsterdam with a protective mask on his face as Tottenham look to overturn the one-goal deficit.

Davinson Sanchez is out, though, having picked up a thigh injury at Bournemouth at the weekend, while it looks like Harry Kane has failed in his bid to make a miraculous recovery from an ankle injury.

Spurs have not officially ruled him out but he looks unlikely to make it, while Harry Winks is also definitely out.

Erik Lamela and Serge Aurier are both back from hamstring injuries and should be in the squad while Spurs are also boosted by the return of Heung-min Son from suspension.

Son watched on last week as Spurs suffered a 1-0 defeat in the semi-final first leg.
