(Reuters) - Midfielder Christian Eriksen says Tottenham Hotspur will need to adjust quickly when they play their Champions League home games at Wembley next season but hoped the larger playing area at the national stadium will work to their advantage.

Tottenham are redeveloping White Hart Lane by building a 400 million pounds 61,000-seater stadium next to their existing ground and will have a reduced capacity next term as a result. They need to use Wembley to meet UEFA requirements.
