Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has been handed a much-needed boost with as many as six Sporting CP players ruled out of Wednesday's Champions League clash.
Spurs currently sit top of their group, but the three teams below them could still overtake them in the final two rounds of action. A win over Sporting will all but guarantee their place in the knockout stages, with Conte's men also looking for revenge after being defeated in the reverse fixture.
Conte is also hoping to put a stop to a poor run of form that has seen his side lose two successive games. A major boost to the Italian is the squad news that is coming out of the Portuguese giants, with Sporting facing something of a crisis.
