Tottenham Hotspur will welcome their leading scorers Rafael van der Vaart and Gareth Bale back to their starting line-up for Wednesday's second leg of their Champions League knockout tie against Milan, though their Italian opponents are more wary of the considerable threat posed by Peter Crouch at White Hart Lane.

The England forward got the only goal at San Siro and unnerved the Serie A leaders to the extent that Thiago Silva, the Rossoneri's Brazilian centre-half, has claimed Crouch is "the strongest player I have marked in the Champions League". Those sentiments are shared by Robinho, previously at Manchester City, even if he retains hope Spurs' 1-0 advantage from the first leg can be overturned.

Second death following collapse of FC Twente stadium roof

A second person has died of injuries sustained after a large section of the roof at FC Twente's stadium collapsed. One person was killed and 16 others suffered serious injuries when the disaster happened on Thursday at De Grolsch Veste Stadium.

The Municipality of Enschede confirmed the second fatality, a 24-year-old man from the city of Oldenzaal.

"It is terrible that we again have to mourn a death," the mayor Peter den Oudsten said. "Our thoughts are with his family and those close to him."

The Twente chairman, Joop Munsterman, said the club's players, who are on a tour of Zeeland, are to return home.

Munsterman, who left Zeeland – where the club were due to play a friendly on Saturday – as soon as he had been informed of the incident, said: "We wish everyone who is affected in any way a lot of strength and in particular we express our condolences to the families of the deceased.

"It is therefore impossible for us to continue our training camp in Zeeland and we cannot play against Zeeuws Elftal.

"We did not want to remain such a distance from what happened today. The open day on 17 July will not occur and the other events in the stadium will not proceed until further notice."

Ilse Hoekstra, a spokeswoman on the scene, said a representative from the Dutch public prosecution service had been sent to launch an investigation to determine the cause of the collapse.

Pictures taken from outside the ground showed a large section of the roof had fallen on to a bank of seating already in place behind the goal in the southern end of the stadium.

The work being carried out was part of a development to increase the capacity of the stadium to more than 30,000. The ground only held 13,500 when the 2010 Eredivisie champions moved there in 1998.

• This article was amended on 13 July 2011. The original referred to FC Twente's tour of New Zealand and to playing a friendly against the national team. This has been corrected.
