Spurs team vs Olympiacos confirmed: Davinson Sanchez at right-back, Ndombele and Dele return

Mauricio Pochettino has shuffled his pack for Tottenham's Champions League group stage match at Olympiacos with five changes.

The Spurs boss has promised in both of his press conferences since the win against Crystal Palace that it would be a different-looking team that would take to the turf in Greece and he has been true to his word.

Davinson Sanchez returns at right-back and Tanguy Ndombele and Dele Alli also come back into the side, with Lucas Moura also returning. Ben Davies starts at left-back.

Pochettino has left Danny Rose and Serge Aurier back at home while Juan Foyth has returned to full training but it was deemed more beneficial for him to remain at home and work on his fitness.

Giovani Lo Celso has begun his rehabilitation following his hip injury and Ryan Sessegnon has suffered a setback after returning to full training, feeling irritation in the same hamstring he had injured this summer.

Here is the team Pochettino has selected: Lloris (C), Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Winks, Ndombele, Eriksen, Dele, Lucas, Kane. Subs: Gazzaniga, Walker-Peters, Dier, Sissoko, Wanyama, Lamela, Son.
