We may have just got the clearest hint yet as to who could come in at the back, or at least make up the numbers in the squad.
On Wednesday, Tottenham shared a video on X of the Spurs first-team squad making their way to the Hotspur Way pitches, and Ashley Phillips was among the players.
On Tuesday night, Spurs’ Under-21s were in EFL Trophy action at Cambridge United, but Phillips wasn’t in the squad. Now, we have another hint that he could feature on Saturday.

Indeed, Dejan Kulusevski recently backed Ashley Phillips to step up for Tottenham in wake of what happened on Monday.
