Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo says he is not thinking about risk-taking by leaving key players out of the Europa Conference League trip to Vitesse.
Spurs sit top of Group G on goal difference with four points from their opening two games.
But none of the outfield players who started in Sunday's 3-2 win at Newcastle have made the trip to the Netherlands for Thursday's match.
Asked if he was taking a gamble, Nuno said: "No. It's not about that."
The Portuguese added: "If someone gets that interpretation, I cannot do anything.
"When you decide to think about the risk, if you always think about the risk, you cannot decide.
