Tanguy Ndombele will return for Tottenham Hotspur in Thursday night's clash with Royal Antwerp.

The French midfielder was a late withdrawal for the win over Arsenal on Sunday.

Serge Aurier will not face Antwerp, but Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is fit.

"Serge will miss the game yes, because he had that problem before Arsenal," Spurs manager Jose Mourinho said. "He is still not completely recovered, he had a reaction from the game.

"Pierre, no problems, it is just the fact that he is playing every match. He played last week three matches of 90 minutes, played Thursday in Austria and played and he played against Arsenal again.

"Now is his time, because we always try to give a rest to one or another player. Tanguy was a doubt until the last minute before Arsenal, now it is three or four days after. He is OK."
