Thomas Frank has named his Tottenham Hotspur starting eleven to take on Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup final as Spurs look to clinch their second European trophy in the space of three months.

The stage is set for Tottenham Hotspur to take on UEFA Champions League winners and French champions Paris Saint-Germain in Udine, Italy.

The Europa League winners under new boss Thomas Frank will be aiming to cause an upset by defeating the Parisians, who were almost formidable throughout last season, winning every major trophy they took part in aside from the Club World Cup.

For Frank, this is a chance to make his mark ahead of what promises to be a gruelling 2025/26 campaign, with Tottenham competing on multiple fronts, including in the UEFA Champions League.

What is the Tottenham team vs Paris Saint-Germain?

The Tottenham manager has a few injury concerns to contend with, as his two attacking midfielders , Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison remain sidelined with long-term issues.

Yves Bissouma was also left out of Frank’s 22-man UEFA Super Cup squad for disciplinary reasons, while Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie made the cut despite carrying knocks.

Thomas Frank has now confirmed his official line-up to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup this evening, as he looks to secure his first piece of silverware in his managerial career and as Tottenham boss.

Spurs face quick turnaround ahead of Premier League opener

Following tonight’s match, Spurs’ focus will quickly turn to their Premier League opener against newly-promoted Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This fixture comes just three days after the UEFA Super Cup, leaving Tottenham with little time to prepare for their home curtain-raiser in the league.

It will be important for the Danish manager to pick up a win in at least one of these two matches to avoid a poor start to his tenure.
