Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has found working the emergency loan market for a new goalkeeper "impossible".
Scotland Under-19 international Chris Kettings was on the Seasiders' bench as back-up to Richard Kingson for the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa and could be there again for the Spurs game.
Mark Halstead, who has returned from a loan spell at Kettering but is not fully match-fit, is another potential option, but the whole situation has left Holloway frustrated.
"For me it was totally impossible," said Holloway.
"We couldn't take anyone from abroad, we could only loan someone and the only people who would loan me anybody wanted them to go straight in goal.
"Most of them were young so am I supposed to say to Richard 'I'm sorry, we are borrowing this kid and you're going to have to sit on the subs' bench'?
"It's nonsense, and yet another bit of scuppering. We're not able to stack and rack four or five goalkeepers like most other people and I do believe again the rules have not helped us that much."
