Young Boys v Tottenham
Tottenham begin their maiden Champions League campaign with a qualifying round first leg test on a plastic pitch in Switzerland on Tuesday night. Opponents Young Boys are currently seventh in their league after five matches but have already eliminated Fenerbahce from this year's tournament. Spurs captain Ledley King's knee will not be risked and midfielder Jermaine Jenas (calf) has also not travelled. David Bentley, Jamie O'Hara and Jonathan Woodgate are all still out. Young Boys defender Christoph Spycher, the former Swiss international, is relishing the chance to face Spurs. "For every player in Switzerland, it's really a great challenge to play against an English team, to play in an English stadium where always the atmosphere is really special," the 32-year-old said. "We have some problems in the championship," Spycher said. "We had some changes. It's not so easy to find the team because we lost also important players. "But I think we showed against Fenerbahce that we can really make excellent games."
