Spurs team confirmed vs Colchester: Troy Parrott, Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga start

Mauricio Pochettino has handed Troy Parrott his Tottenham Hotspur debut with a start against Colchester United in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

The 17-year-old shone in pre-season and after saying he wanted to keep the teenager out of the spotlight, the Spurs boss has given him his opportunity in the League Cup.

Japhet Tanganga, 20, also makes his debut in the centre of defence after also impressing during pre-season.

Dele Alli and Davinson Sanchez both start after being left out of the squad for the Premier League defeat at Leicester on Saturday as they continued to work on their fitness after recent injuries.

Lucas Moura , Ben Davies, Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama were all on the bench at the King Power Stadium and come into the side. Kyle Walker-Peters also returns to the team after missing out on the squad at the weekend.

Juan Foyth is now back in training and returns to the bench against the League Two side.

Oliver Skipp mqkes his first start of the season after a couple of appearances from the bench early in the campaign.

Here is the team Pochettino starts with: Gazzaniga, Walker-Peters, Sanchez, Tanganga, Davies, Dier (C), Wanyama, Skipp, Dele, Lucas, Parrott. Subs: Lloris, Foyth, Vertonghen, Sissoko, Eriksen, Lamela, Son.
