They have been struggling with multiple injury problems and Tottenham will be allowed to choose a substitute for the French attacker for the time being if the French international is sidelined for more than 60 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">New rules for the UEFA Champions League allow players to bring in substitutes in accordance with the regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">Matthijs Tell was left out of the Champions League squad earlier this season and could be given a chance to showcase his qualities in Europe. This rule has certainly been a boon for clubs struggling with long-term injury problems.
