Spurs have to submit their squad by Wednesday and are not going to include the full-back.
In the Premier League, a player under 21 does not have to be in the registered squad.
However, UEFA requires that your Under-21 players have been at the club for at least two years to qualify.
Spence does not fall into that category and as a result he will be removed from the squad.
Spurs also have a smaller squad, as they are registering 23 not 25 players, as only Brandon Austin and Alfie Whiteman are their two homegrown players.
If you register a 25 man squad, you must have four homegrown players in there.
