Tottenham vs Juventus confirmed team news: Troy Parrott starts with Harry Kane on the bench

Mauricio Pochettino has gone with a mixed side for Tottenham's first game of the new season as they take on Juventus in the International Champions Cup in Singapore.

Pochettino has plenty of missing players with Eric Dier, Ben Davies and Cameron Carter-Vickers left back at Hotspur Way as they continue their rehabilitation after injuries while Danny Rose and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou were omitted from the tour squad in order to find moves elsewhere and Vincent Janssen is set to join Mexican club Monterrey.

Victor Wanyama, Serge Aurier and Davinson Sanchez will all report back to training in Enfield next week after their international exploits this summer.

Hugo Lloris has been absent from training after coming down with tonsillitis soon after landing in Singapore.

New signing Tanguy Ndombele has looked sharp in training and he starts the game on the bench against Cristiano Ronaldo, Matthijs de Ligt & Co.

Christian Eriksen was training alone on Friday as he is behind the group in terms of fitness after minor surgery in the summer but he appeared to be back with his team-mates in Saturday's sessions and he is named on the bench.

However Troy Parrott does start with the 17-year-old making his senior bow up front with Harry Kane on the bench along with other youngsters starting such as Japhet Tanganga and Anthoy Georgiou.

Here is the starting XI Pochettino has chosen: Gazzaniga, Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Tanganga, Georgiou, Winks, Skipp, Lamela, Dele, Son, Parrott.
