Tottenham face Wembley pitch inspection for PSV clash

Damage caused to the national stadium's playing surface by NFL matches have given UEFA cause for concerns over safety and Spurs another headache

UEFA will inspect the Wembley pitch before allowing Tottenham's Champions League clash against PSV Eindhoven to go ahead on Tuesday.

The national stadium's playing surface was left in a poor condition after the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars played the latest in a series of NFL games on it on Sunday.

Damage and the gridiron markings were visible when Spurs lost to City just 24 hours later, with the Londoners going down 1-0.
