Europa League: Tottenham rest Jan Vertonghen and Paulinho for Anzhi tie
Jan Vertonghen and Paulinho have not travelled with Tottenham to Russia for Thursday's Europa League tie against Anzhi Makhachkala.
The pair started Saturday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea and have been rested. Etienne Capoue, Aaron Lennon and Emmanuel Adebayor are sidelined, as is Danny Rose, though he could feature against West Ham on Sunday.
Conflict in Dagestan means the match is being held 1,100 miles away in Ramenskoye, a town on the outskirts of Moscow. The 16,500-capacity Saturn Stadium is expected to be a third full.
Anzhi have slashed their budget this season and Spurs' manager, André Villas-Boas, said: "They are radically different from what Anzhi built in these past years."
