Postecoglou's defensive options were decimated even further in the week, when it was revealed Guglielmo Vicario had undergone surgery on a broken ankle, sidelining him for the foreseeable future.
Spurs are already without their two first-choice centre-backs Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, so Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies are set to start again after impressing against Man City.
Will Lankshear and Mikey Moore have been handed opportunities in Europe so far, but neither will feature, with Lankshear suspended following his red card against Galatasaray and Moore currently wiped out with a virus.
Rodrigo Bentancur will almost certainly start to ensure he maintains his match fitness, as his seven-game ban is only for domestic fixtures.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Forster; Spence, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Werner
Roma
After playing 3-4-3 under Juric, Ranieri opted to revert to a more old-fashioned 4-4-2 in the Napoli defeat, despite making very few changes to the personnel.
Lorenzo Pellegrini returned from injury to replace Matias Soule in the only change from Juric's final game, while Paulo Dybala was only fit enough for the bench.
Mario Hermoso and Alexis Saelemaekers are both closing in on a return to the first team, but Uzbek international Eldor Shomurodov is a confirmed absentee with a muscle problem.
Roma possible starting lineup:
Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Hummels, Angelino; Soule, Baldanzi, Cristante, Zalewski; Dybala, Dovbyk
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Roma
