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?

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.

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

As I've mentioned in the past, in areas where decision success can easily be measured, getting 55% right is world beating performance. The judgement on whether a small injury requires treatment is obviously very tricky. What evidence is there that we are doing worse than expected?
 
Like CK said, I think we need to be careful with Kudus - and Palhinha - and avoid burning them out. I really want to see a 4231 instead of a 433 and get Xavi playing in his best position. Not sure playing him LW is doing his confidence any good and it’s not really doing the team any good either.

I’d go with

Kinsky
Porro, Danso, van de Ven, Spence
Sarr, Bentancur
Johnson, Xavi, Odobert
Richarlison

What concerns me more is what I see as a recent trend of players getting injured then supposedly returning to the point of actually playing competitive football again, when a simple eye test will show that they look miles off of fitness, then they disappear again and a few weeks later comes the inevitable surgery announcement.

We've seen this with Solanke, Richarlison, Kulusevski, Micky and one other who I can't recall and that's in the past two years alone.

Who is giving the green light for them to return to action when they are clearly not right?
