Tottenham team confirmed vs Crystal Palace: Serge Aurier returns with Dele and Ndombele on bench

Mauricio Pochettino has been able to bring a couple of faces back into his Tottenham Hotspur squad to take on Crystal Palace.

Tanguy Ndombele, Kyle Walker-Peters, Eric Dier and Ryan Sessegnon have all returned to training with the first team, while Juan Foyth is closing in on a return.

Giovani Lo Celso is the main injury for the club now with his hip injury sustained on international duty keeping him out until later next month.

Ndombele and Dier return to the bench as does Victor Wanyama after he failed to get a move away from the club in the summer.

Serge Aurier gets his first minutes of the season at right-back after returning from international duty with the Ivory Coast.

What Alasdair Gold learnt from Pochettino's press conference

Dele Alli made his return in the north London derby from the bench and he is among the substitutes once again.

With Davinson Sanchez missing out through injury, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen are the centre-back pairing.

Here is the team Pochettino has chosen: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Winks, Sissoko; Lamela, Eriksen, Son; Kane. Subs: Gazzaniga, Davies, Dier, Wanyama, Ndombele, Dele, Lucas.
