Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, however, will not take a full roster into the crucial game. Three of his top stars — including notable Premier League goal-scorer Harry Kane — are out of action. Kane and midfielder Dele Alli, who has scored five league goals plus two in League Cup matches, per Soccerway, are both recovering from injuries. South Korean national Heung-Min Son is away, competing in the Asian Cup with his national team.
But the Spurs will see the return from injury of three other key players, Brazilian Lucas Moura, French national Moussa Sissoko, and Kenyan captain Victor Wanyama, according to an Evening Standard report.
For Chelsea, AC Milan and Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain was expected to join the club on a loan deal, but contracts were not completed in time. And so, the Argentinian who scored eight goals in 20 matches across all competitions for Milan this season will not be available for action, according to the BBC.
Under EPL rules, the away goals rule will not apply in the semifinal match, and if the aggregate score ends in a draw — that is, if Chelsea wins Thursday’s game by one goal — no extra time will be played. The semifinal winner will be decided solely on penalty kicks, TottenhamHotspur.com explained.
