Gazza won't make Spurs clash with Lazio

Tottenham legend Paul Gascoigne won't be attending tomorrow's Europa League clash with Lazio.

The draw last month prompted the Italian giants to offer to invite the former England midfielder to the reverse fixture in Rome on November 22.

Press Association Sport reports the 45-year-old was also invited to attend Thursday's match but he was unable to accept for personal reasons.

Gascoigne has struggled to deal with alcohol problems since retirement but his agent said this summer that he had embarked on a health drive.

It remains to be seen whether he will attend the game between the sides at the Stadio Olimpico.
