FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Tottenham Hotspur will be without captain Son Heung-min as they seek to reach the Europa League semi-finals by overcoming Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

The quarter-final tie is on a knife edge after the sides drew 1-1 in London last week but Spurs have been dealt a blow for a game they must win to keep a poor season alive.
