Sanchez out of Tottenham's trip to Ajax, Vertonghen still in doubt

Davinson Sanchez will miss Tottenham's Champions League semi-final second leg at Ajax due to a thigh injury.

The Colombia international sustained the problem during Spurs' 1-0 Premier League loss at Bournemouth on Saturday and it leaves manager Mauricio Pochettino with a headache as his side aim to overturn a one-goal deficit at the Johan Cruijff Arena.

Jan Vertonghen suffered a nasal injury in a painful collision with team-mate Toby Alderweireld and Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana in last week's first leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Vertonghen will continue to be monitored before the match and will wear a protective face mask if he is selected.
