Tottenham team confirmed vs Wolves: Harry Kane back on bench, Cristian Romero out

Harry Kane returns to the bench for Tottenham Hotspur as they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The England captain has been left out of the first two Tottenham matchday squads as he worked at Hotspur Way on his fitness following his isolation after his return from holiday.

Now he returns to the bench as Nuno Espirito Santo returns to his old club and names the same starting XI for Spurs that overcame Manchester City a week ago.

Cristian Romero misses out on the matchday squad as a precaution with a minor knee injury suffered in the Europa Conference League defeat at Pacos de Ferreira in Portugal on Thursday night.

That means Davinson Sanchez and Eric Dier continue their partnership in the centre of the Tottenham defence after keeping a clean sheet against City.

Tanguy Ndombele, Moussa Sissoko and Serge Aurier have not travelled with the squad.

Here is the team Espirito Santo has chosen:

Lloris; Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon; Skipp, Hojbjerg, Alli; Lucas, Son, Bergwijn.

Subs: Gollini, Doherty, Sessegnon, Davies, Winks, Lo Celso, Gil, Scarlett, Kane.
