Ange Postecoglou has said Tottenham will fight "tooth and nail" to salvage their season by reaching the Europa League semi-finals and admitted he "couldn't care less" about speculation over his future.

Tottenham will be without Son Heung-min for the second leg of their quarter-final against Eintracht Frankfurt tonight because of a foot injury. Postecoglou admitted that it was a blow to lose his captain as his team prepare for their most important game of the season, after a 17th Premier League defeat of the campaign against Wolves on Sunday.

However, asked whether he was feeling the burden of pressure as Spurs attempt to reach the last four of this competition for the first time since winning it in 1984, Postecoglou said he is not concerned about what fate awaits him if they lose.

"No, not at all mate," the Australian said. "Because I don't define my career and me as a person by what people think about me. I never have. Never will. If you don't think I'm a good coach today, you won't think I'm a good coach tomorrow, even if we win. One game ain't going to make a difference to that. You either think I'm capable of doing the job now or you don't."
