Tottenham HotspurWe can confirm the starting line-ups and substitutes for our Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar (kick-off 8pm UK).
Ange Postecoglou has made nine changes to the starting side from Saturday’s 4-1 win over West Ham United in the Premier League.
With Club captain Heung-Min Son already confirmed out of tonight’s clash and Cristian Romero amongst our substitutes, vice-captain James Maddison keeps his place in the starting XI and is given the armband for the very first time with Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall joining him in midfield.
Mikey Moore is rewarded with another start in the competition following his Player of the Match display in our 2-1 win at Ferencvaros on full debut last time out, the young winger accompanies Timo Werner and Richarlison who starts for the first time this season in our front three.
Archie Gray, Ben Davies and Radu Dragusin – who returns from his one-match suspension in the competition – all come in to start as Destiny Udogie retains his spot in our backline, with Fraser Forster also in the starting XI for his second start this term and first in Europe since AC Milan in the Champions League in 2023.
Meanwhile, Wilson Odobert returns from injury to make a matchday squad for the first time since Coventry City in the Carabao Cup last month and Will Lankshear is back involved on the bench after starting in Hungary in our previous outing in the competition.
Starting XI: Forster; Gray, Dragusin, Davies, Udogie; Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison (c); Werner, Richarlison, Moore.
Substitutes: Vicario, Austin, Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Odobert, Johnson, Solanke, Lankshear.
