Team news | Cuti, Djed, Radu back to face Atleti

Igor Tudor has confirmed that Radu Dragusin and Djed Spence are back from injury for the first leg of our UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Atletico Madrid.

Djed has been sidelined for our last two matches against Fulham and Palace due to muscle soreness, while Radu missed out against Palace.

Igor also has Cuti Romero available for the first time having missed four matches in the Premier League due to suspension.

Speaking to SPURSPLAY at Estadio Metroplitano on Monday evening, Igor told us: "Djed is back, Romero is back, Dragusin is also back. That's nice. For the first time we have a team, let's say, where we can play with the players who usually play in that position. We have experience and quality back."

Asked for team news in his pre-match press conference, Igor said: "We are happy that Romero is back, Djed is back. So, players are coming back, that's important. For the first time that I'm here, we will have, let's say, available players to play in the defensive side, the players we usually play.

"All three games (so far under Igor) we miss the players in their positions and we miss the players who are usually playing. So, it's a beautiful game to play tomorrow, a totally different competition than the Premier League. Let's see what happens tomorrow."

Yves Bissouma and Souza are ineligible, while James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Mo Kudus, Deki Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Rodrigo Bentancur and Ben Davies remain sidelined.
