Thomas Frank has plenty of key decisions to make across the pitch as Tottenham face Bodo/Glimt in Norway on Tuesday evening in the Champions League.
Spurs have travelled back to the Norwegian town above the Arctic Circle just four months after winning there 2-0 in the Europa League semi-final second leg back in May. Frank must name his own side to perform on the artificial turf of the Aspmyra Stadion on Tuesday night for the north London side's first away game in the league phase encounter after their opening win against Villarreal.
Frank remains without strikersDominic Solanke, who is set to have a minor procedure on his ankle, and Randal Kolo Muani, while captain Cristian Romero has been left at home as a precaution after his part in the last-gasp draw against Wolves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Spurs boss must decide on his two full-backs with Pedro Porro likely to return after being rested from the starting line-up at the weekend.
In midfield Pape Matar Sarr could return to the centre of the pitch and Frank must decide which of the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur, Joao Palhinha and Lucas Bergvall gets a rest.
The Dane could choose to bring Brennan Johnson into the team with his experience against Bodo/Glimt and that might mean Xavi Simons steps out of the starting XI after a disappointing showing against Wolves ready to come on and impact the game as it wears on.
Frank must also take into account that Tottenham are back in action in the Premier League in Saturday's lunchtime game at Leeds United.
Here's the Tottenham team we think Frank might select:
(4-3-3) Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Spence; Sarr, Palhinha, Bergvall; Kudus, Richarlison, Johnson.
