Tottenham's match against Dnipro tomorrow will go ahead as planned despite the volatile political situation in Ukraine.

Clashes in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, between police and anti-government protestors had seen the death toll rise to 25 this morning. Dnipropetrovsk, the venue for the first leg of Spurs’ Europa League last-32 tie, is 220 miles south-east of Kiev, and UEFA have confirmed that the game is due to proceed as scheduled.

Earlier, a spokesman for European football’s governing body had said they were “monitoring the situation closely”, but confirmed shortly afterwards that the match would not be postponed. Tottenham’s players and officials boarded their flight this morning and had received no suggestions from UEFA that the game was in doubt.

Many flights from London to Dnipropetrovsk go via Kiev and UEFA must take into account the safety of away supporters travelling to games. On its website yesterday, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office published travel advice for those Tottenham fans planning to follow their team to the game.

The memo read: “Following current political situation in Ukraine we advise you to pay close attention to your personal security, monitor the media for information about possible safety or security risks, avoid demonstrations and public gatherings, as even peaceful protests may turn violent.”

Tottenham posted similar sentiments on their own site, updating the message regularly and urging those supporters travelling via Kiev to be especially vigilant.

Spurs said: “We are aware that a number of our fans will travel to Dnipropetrovsk via Kiev and you should take extra care when in public areas and if travelling by train, keep all your belongings together and in sight at all times.”

Emmanuel Adebayor, Jermain Defoe and Kyle Walker are all thought to have been left out of the squad for the tie, while midfielder Sandro has also been kept back as he continues his recovery from a calf injury. The second leg of the tie is next Thursday at White Hart Lane and if Spurs advance, they will face Benfica or PAOK Salonika in the last 16.
