Heung-min Son returns for Tottenham as Jan Vertonghen wears a mask vs Ajax

Tottenham have been boosted by the return of Heung-min Son and Jan Vertonghen for their must-win Champions League tie against Ajax in Amsterdam.

Son missed the first leg of the semi-final due to suspension, and Spurs were made to pay as Mauricio Pochettino's side could consider themselves fortunate to have only been beaten 1-0 at home last week.

Vertonghen - who was taken off during that game after suffering a worrying head injury - has been passed fit to face his former club, and returns to a defence featuring Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose, though the Belgian wore a protective mask.

With Harry Kane still out due to an ankle injury, Son leads the attack along with Lucas Moura and Dele Alli, while Christian Eriksen - another former Ajax still - will be tasked with making an impact as Spurs look to join Liverpool in the Champions League Final on June 1.
