Europa League winner Eintracht Frankfurt starts the Champions League game at Tottenham Hotspur without ex-world champion Mario Götze. The 30-year-old sits on the bench in London on Wednesday evening (9 p.m. / DAZN).
Instead, Daichi Kamada and Jesper Lindström take over the offensive half-positions behind striker Randal Kolo Muani, who is returning to head coach Oliver Glasner’s starting eleven after a Bundesliga red suspension. The veteran Makoto Hasebe also plays from the start.
Harry Kane starts with the Premier League hosts. The star striker suffered a bruise in the league at the weekend but recovered in time for matchday four of the premier class. The Brazilian Richarlison and the South Korean Heung-Min Son are also part of the sonorous offensive that head coach Antonio Conte can muster. Just over a week ago, the first leg in Frankfurt ended 0-0, both teams still have a good chance of making it into the round of 16.
