Tottenham kick off their Europa Conference League journey in Portugal this evening against Pacos de Ferreira, but will once again be without Harry Kane.
Spurs flew out for the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off on Wednesday morning, but Kane was not part of the group.
The striker only joined in first-team training on Tuesday after a period of self-isolation last week following his late return from holiday.
In Kane’s absence, and with Heung-min Son also not going to start in Portugal, 17-year-old Dane Scarlett will make his first senior start for Spurs.
Big things are expected of the teenager, who has been tipped for the top by former boss Jose Mourinho.
“He’s going to start the game tomorrow. We have big, big expectations regarding Dane because he did so well in pre-season which you recall the game against Leyton Orient in which he scored and he was involved in many of the games in pre-season,” Nuno said.
“He’s a young talent that we want to develop and we want to make him better and want to make him grow because there’s a lot of potential there.”
