TEAM NEWS

Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel will again start in the second leg of their Europa League clash with Lyon.

The 41-year-old has been used in the cup so far and will start ahead of ex-Lyon man Hugo Lloris.

Striker Jermain Defoe (ankle) has not travelled with the squad, but is expected to return to training next week., while Sandro, Younes Kaboul and Tom Huddlestone (all knee) all remain out.

Lyon midfielder Steed Malbranque is available to face his former club again after recovering from a bout of flu which forced him to miss the weekend's 4-0 win over Bordeaux.

Malbranque started last week's first leg at White Hart Lane, but Yoann Gourcuff missed out last week and against Bordeaux due to a groin problem.
