Tuesday 30th September 8pm
Champions League Group Stage
Aspmyra Stadion, Bodo​

No news yet, but Dragusin, Kulusevski and Maddison are all long-term injured.
Solanke, Takai, Davies, Sarr, Bissouma and Kolo Muani all missed the Wolves match.
Davies, Takai and Bissouma trained today, though the latter is not eligible for this competition.
Neither side has any suspensions.

Lineups for each side's last league game:

Spurs: Vicario; Spence, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie; Palhinha, Bentancur; Kudus, Bergvall, Simons; Richarlison.
Subs: Kinsky, Porro, Danso, Gray, Sarr, Johnson, Odobert, Tel, Scarlett.
League form: WWLWDD.

Bodo: Khaikin; Sjovold, Bjortuft, Aleesami, Bjorkan; Evjen, Berg, Brunstad Fet; Bassi, Hogh, Hauge.
Subs: Faye Lund, Nielsen, Dybvik Maatta, Klynge, Helmersen, Bro Hansen.
League form: WDWWWD.

Ref: Ivan Kružliak (SVK). VAR: Bram Van Driessche (BEL).
I never like it when the ref and VAR officials are from different countries.
Kruzliak previously reffed us in the group stage against PSV in 2018. We won 2-1 with two late goals.

TV: TNT Sports 2.

How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?

 

Pal Stewartsen

 

Solanke has had a minor surgery on his ankle, according to Frank.
Should know more after the international break, apparently.
Our whole striker situation has been horribly mismanaged.
Everyone knew it was a ****-up almost immediately.

 

< intermission >

 

Definitely should have been aware RKM was in pre-season limbo and hadn't done any pre-season training, similar to Nkoudou

 

And we did nothing to get Scarlett up to speed either, despite Kolo Muani being a last minute signing.
Absolutely nowhere near good enough, I'm afraid.

 

Cristian Romero hasn't travelled for this one, so his leg's probably fallen off or something.

 

Apparently Romero hasn’t travelled?

Assuming it’ll be something like

Vic
Porro Danso VdV Spence
Sarr Palhinha Xavi
Kudus Richy Whoever

 

Death, taxes and Spurs players undergoing surgery after weeks of everyone pissing about pretending that they don't need surgery.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même.

 

I'd go with
Kinsky
Porro Danso VDV Udogie
Sarr Bentancur Gray
Johnson Richarlison Simons

We're already in danger of running players into the ground, Kudus being top of that list.
