Tottenham confirmed team vs RB Leipzig: Giovani Lo Celso returns and Gedson Fernandes starts

Jose Mourinho has made a couple of changes to his Tottenham Hotspur team as they welcome RB Leipzig in the Champions League last 16.

The injury to Son Heung-min has given the Spurs head coach one less option up front.

Lucas is the man up front with Giovani Lo Celso returning to the line-up alongside Steven Bergwijn and Dele Alli.

Gedson Fernandes makes his second start for the team, coming into the middle alongside Harry Winks.

Erik Lamela is back on the bench after recovering from injury.

In defence there were questions over whether Ben Davies can manage two games within quick succession after more than two months out but he has been chosen again.

Here is the team Jose Mourinho has gone with:

Lloris (C), Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Winks, Gedson, Lo Celso, Dele, Bergwijn, Lucas. Subs: Gazzaniga, Vertonghen, Tanganga, Dier, Skipp, Ndombele, Lamela.
