Tottenham face an away test against Royal Antwerp, with manager Jose Mourinho hopeful Gareth Bale can fly.

Tottenham are expected to make several changes in the line-up.

They had opened their group stage campaign with a 3-0 win over LASK.

Leicester forward Jamie Vardy is set to return to the starting XI against AEK Athens after recovering from a calf injury.
