Conte believes the late blow Kane received to his ankle against Brighton is not serious, despite the England captain being subbed off following the incident late on at the Amex.
Dejan Kulusevski remains on the sidelines though with a thigh injury picked up while away with Sweden at the end of September, so the front three of Kane, Richarlison and Son Heung-min may remain intact following the reverse fixture last week.
Emerson Royal will be available for selection as his three-match suspension will only account for domestic fixtures, so Conte may opt to bring the Brazilian back in to replace Matt Doherty at right wing-back.
Ivan Perisic dropped to the bench at the weekend, but the Croat will most likely return on the opposite flank, despite Ryan Sessegnon's impressive performance at Brighton, as Perisic's experience at this level could be crucial in a high-pressure fixture for the side.
Randal Kolo Muani missed Frankfurt's defeat at Bochum after being sent off against Union Berlin, but did feature in the tie against Spurs in between those games, so the French attacker may return to the starting XI here.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic; Richarlison, Kane, Son
Eintracht Frankfurt
Both Lucas Alario and Rafael Borre started in attack as Glasner opted for a more attacking approach against weaker opposition in the form of Bochum, but as that backfired, he will most probably go back to a one-up-front formation here.
Daichi Kamada was the midfielder sacrificed for the tactical switch, but that decision may also have been influenced by Glasner wanting to protect the Japanese international in preparation for this match.
Sebastian Rode and Ansgar Knauff also dropped out of the side on the weekend, but Eintracht were able to welcome back Mario Gotze as the World Cup winner missed the reverse fixture with injury.
Makoto Hasebe was left out entirely as the 38-year-old may struggle to play twice in a week, but after an excellent display against Spurs last week, he should come back in to play as the central defender in a back three.
Almamy Toure will remain out with a muscular injury, alongside Buta and Jerome Onguene, who both have not featured at all this season.
Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup:
Trapp; Tuta, Hasebe, Ndicka; Jakic, Rode, Sow, Knauff; Kamada, Lindstrom, Kolo Muani
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurt
