Tottenham team confirmed vs Leipzig: Ryan Sessegnon starts, Fagan-Walcott on bench, Sanchez out

Jose Mourinho has named the Tottenham Hotspur team that he believe will keep RB Leipzig out and score at least twice in the Red Bull Arena.

Tottenham are a goal down in the Champions League last 16 second leg tie. 

Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Moussa Sissoko, Ben Davies, Juan Foyth and Steven Bergwijn have remained at home in the UK, with the latter ruled out for the remainder of the season with his ankle injury.

Most of the Tottenham players who did not start at Burnley come into the team, with Harry Winks, Giovani Lo Celso, Serge Aurier and Lucas Moura coming in. 

Mourinho also indicated that 19-year-old Ryan Sessegnon could start in Germany and he does with Japhet Tanganga on the bench along with teenagers Troy Parrott and Malachi Fagan-Walcott.

Davinson Sanchez misses out with a minor injury.

Here's the team Mourinho has chosen: 

Lloris (C), Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Tanganga, Sessegnon, Winks, Lo Celso, Lamela, Lucas, Dele. Subs: Gazzaniga, Fagan-Walcott, Vertonghen, Skipp, Ndombele, Gedson, Parrott.
