Tottenham star Jan Vertonghen could return for his side's Champions League semi-final second leg against Ajax after suffering a head injury in last week's 1-0 defeat at home. The former Ajax defender trained while wearing a face mask to protect his nose, which was injured in a clash of heads with team-mate Toby Alderweireld. Vertonghen, who attempted to play on last week before being substituted after seemingly struggling to stand up, missed his side's Premier League defeat at Bournemouth over the weekend. The club, though, said he had not suffered a concussion.<doc-sep>Ajax vs Tottenham: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview Donny van de Beek's goal has given the Eredivisie side the edge over Spurs as both seek to meet Liverpool in the Champions League final on June 1 Tottenham will join Liverpool in the Champions League final on June 1 if they can turnaround a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Ajax at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on Wednesday. Donny van de Beek’s well-worked goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last Tuesday is the difference between the sides ahead of a return match in the Netherlands, though Erik ten Hag’s side may feel they should have a bigger advantage to protect as they go home. Ajax won the KNVB Beker on Sunday by defeating Willem II 4-0 in Rotterdam, offering a further boost to their confidence, while Spurs suffered a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth, conceding late on in a game they played a large portion of with just nine men.

Match Preview When the dust settles on this campaign for Tottenham, it will be considered a successful one. A top-four finish in the Premier League has virtually been achieved, while the club could not have hoped for much better than a run to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Spurs, though, have lost nine of their last 14 games, winning only four, nearly losing their spot among Europe’s elite next season and jeopardising their hopes in the European Cup against Ajax. While the campaign will be remembered as a success, it threatens to be one tarred by unfulfilled potential, both domestically and in Europe. If their hopes of the Premier League have long been lost, that is not the case in the Champions League. Liverpool await the winners of this tie in what has been the Year of the Comeback in the competition. Spurs were the club that really started the trend, recovering from a seemingly impossible position in the group stage to dramatically seal their place in the knockout rounds. Before the Reds rallied on Tuesday to come back and beat Barcelona having lost the first leg 3-0 at Camp Nou, Ajax were the undisputed kings of the recovery in the competition. Both Real Madrid and Juventus – hopefuls to win the whole thing – had left Amsterdam feeling content with their work only to be defeated at home, in the Spaniards’ case a 4-1 thumping that will remain engrained in the history of the two clubs for very different reasons. Now the Dutch side face the challenge of being frontrunners – and possibly even favourites – in the knockout stages, something they have not experienced previously. With a famously offensive mindset, coach Erik ten Hag will not allow his side to take a step back. “We will step onto the pitch with the score 0-0 in our minds,” he said. “I want my team to reach a higher level than we already have reached this season, and to win. "We have to win the match and we'll play to our strengths. We have to win. It's a new game we have to play.” Article continues below Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, meanwhile, still clearly believes in his side’s chances after being drawn into musing over his future should they go all the way. “To win the Champions League with Tottenham, in this circumstance, in this season, maybe I need to think a little bit to do something different in the future, for sure,” he said. Wednesday’s game will not make or break Spurs’ season, but it could provide a pathway to an incredible finale.<doc-sep>Either Ajax or Tottenham will move on to the Champions League final when the two meet in Amsterdam on Wednesday for their semifinal second leg. Last week in London, the talented Dutch club scored a 1-0 victory to return home as the favorite, looking to close out Spurs, who were without the injured Harry Kane and the suspended Son Heung-min. Donny van de Beek's goal in the first leg has Ajax needing just a draw in the second leg at home to move on, while Tottenham is forced to find its scoring boots, which have gone missing. Tottenham hasn't scored in its last three games.

Storylines Ajax: This team has gone on the road with nothing to lose in this competition to beat Real Madrid, Juventus and Tottenham in consecutive matches. How will this team handle the pressure of closing it out at home this time around? Expect Ajax to not change how it does things -- lots of quick passes, fluid movement and sharp balls to feet to create quick shots. They'll stick to the plan and hope it means a spot in the final. Tottenham: Thirty-nine shots in the last three games and zero goals to show for it paints the picture of what the problem has been. There have been chances to finish, some golden ones, but the frustration builds as the ball doesn't find the back of the net. Getting Son back certainly changes everything, but the team must be cautious and not be exposed to the counter attack by going forward to too many numbers. Ajax vs. Tottenham prediction Ajax gets the result it needs to move on, but it isn't without the threat of a late goal turning the tide.

Mauricio Pochettino will know his side have the tough task of overturning a first-leg deficit when they face Ajax. His side will have to defeat a team who have already knocked out Real Madrid and Juventus in the knockout stages so far. Spurs will not only have to overturn a 1-0 deficit, but will have to put an end to an alarming run of results. Since their famous 4-3 second-leg victory over Manchester City in the Champions League quarter finals, Pochettino’s men have lost four of their last five games by a 1-0 scoreline. Here is all the key information you need ahead of the game… (Image: Getty Images) When is the match? The game takes place on Wednesday May 8. Where is the match taking place? Ajax’s home ground of the Johan Cruyff ArenA hosts the game. The venue has a capacity of just under 55,000 supporters. What TV channel is the game on? The match will be shown on BT Sport 2 for viewers in the UK. Gary Lineker hosts the coverage, which will begin at 7pm. Can you live stream the match?

(Image: Getty Images) Tottenham team news Spurs will be boosted by the return of Heung-Min Son after the South Korean missed the first-leg defeat in North London due to suspension. Mauricio Pochettino will be hopeful that defender Jan Vertonghen, formerly of Ajax, can return having missed the disappointing 1-0 loss to Bournemouth at the weekend. The Belgian was injured in a horrific clash of heads with team-mate Toby Alderweireld in the first-leg. He was initially given the all-clear to return to the pitch but it was clear he couldn’t continue and was helped off the pitch by members of the club’s medical staff. Pochettino revealed on Saturday that the defender had trained before the Bournemouth game and that he could potentially be available for the game in Amsterdam. Unfortunately for Spurs, they will still be without Harry Kane and Harry Winks. Top-scorer Kane is still recovering from an ankle ligament injury, while Winks underwent groin surgery last week. They will also be without Serge Aurier and Erik Lamela, who are both recovering from hamstring injuries. Ajax team news Ajax ran out comfortable winners in a 4-0 defeat of Willem II in the KNVB Cup Final on Sunday. They limited key starters such as Lasse Schöne and David Neres to substitute roles, instead opting for the experience of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who scored twice to help the Dutch side lift their first trophy since 2014. Erik ten Hag’s side are top of the Eredivisie as well, with the opportunity to move closer to a potentially incredible treble on Wednesday night.
