Ange Postecoglou has named the Tottenham team that he hopes can overcome Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League semi-final first leg.
The Norwegian side have been very strong at home this season in the competition, losing only once, and Spurs know that they need to take an advantage into next week's second leg in Bodo. The visitors this time are without a number of players through suspension and injury so Tottenham must make the most of that.
Postecoglou is without his captain Son Heung-min, who has a foot injury, and long-term absentee Radu Dragusin and has a new absentee in Lucas Bergvall.
"Unfortunately for Lucas, he picked up an injury in training yesterday. He tweaked his ankle unfortunately and misses out tonight. Disappointing for him because he's been outstanding this year and he's hugely disappointed with that and unfortunately he misses out," said Postecoglou to TNT Sports ahead of the game.
He has brought back in all the players who were rested for the defeat at Liverpool on Sunday meaning Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are in the centre of defence today with Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie the full-backs.
With Bergvall's absence so Yves Bissouma steps back into midfield and Brennan Johnson starts on the right wing with Richarlison on the other side of Dominic Solanke, with Dejan Kulusevski on the bench with Mathys Tel.
On Bissouma, Postecoglou said: "I just think the balance of our midfield with what we need to do tonight and what we're facing up against. The beauty of Lucas was that he gave us the balance in there and for tonight Biss will give us more of the input we need."
On the Richarlison inclusion, the Spurs boss added: "Again I think we need to be aggressive tonight. Richy has been working his way back to fitness and he's been playing on the left quite regularly in his career. I think tonight with his experience, especially his ability in and around the box we want to put some pressure on them and he can help us in that area."
Here's the Tottenham team that Postecoglou has selected to face the Norwegian visitors:
Vicario, Pedro Porro, Romero (c), van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Richarlison. Subs: Austin, Whiteman, Spence, Davies, Danso, Gray, Sarr, Kulusevski, Moore, Odobert, Tel.
