Tottenham have Dominic Solanke back tonight for their UEFA Super Cup clash with Paris Saint-Germain, but the striker has only made the bench.
The Europa League champions take on the Champions League winners in Udine as Thomas Frank’s side look to go into the new Premier League season on a high.
It has been a frustrating summer for Solanke so far, with the striker playing in just one friendly at the start of pre-season before being sidelined with an ankle injury.
However, Solanke has been named in Spurs’ squad for the Super Cup after Frank suggested last week that he would “be available quite soon".
Spurs have opted to be cautious with his fitness, though, which means Richarlison continuing up front.
Luka Vuskovic is back in the matchday squad, while Destiny Udogie misses out as he continues his recovery from injury.
Dejan Kulusevski is out for “a long time” with a serious knee injury sustained at the end of last season, while James Maddison is set to miss the majority of the campaign after suffering an ACL injury.
Pape Matar Sarr started in front of Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha in last week’s friendly defeat to Bayern Munich, and he plays with those two again in what looks to be more of a regimented midfield trio.
Mohammed Kudus keeps his place, and looks to be joining Richarlison up top in a front two.
Tottenham confirmed XI (3-5-2): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Danso, Spence; Bentancur, Sarr, Palhinha; Kudus, Richarlison
Subs: Kinsky, Austin, Davies, Vuskovic, Byfield, Gray. Bergvall, Odobert, Tel, Johnson, Solanke
Injured: Dragusin, Takai, Maddison, Kulusevski, Udogie
