Why Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison are absent for Tottenham game at Marseille

It's a huge evening for Antonio Conte and his Tottenham side as they look to seal their place in the knockout phase of the Champions League. Top of Group D going into their final match away at Marseille, Spurs only need a point to progress through to the next stage of the competition.

However, it won't be straight forward as all four teams in the group can still progress, with bottom club Marseille able to leapfrog Tottenham in the standings by beating them. Spurs will certainly go into the match in a confident mood following last Saturday's sensational turnaround at Bournemouth, but they will have to make do without three key players once again.

Despite warming up on the pitch away from the team on Saturday at the Vitality, Dejan Kulusevski is not available for selection. The Swede will be joined on the sidelines by both Cristian Romero and Richarlison, with assistant head coach Cristian Stellini confirming the news when speaking to the media in Marseille on Monday evening.
