TOTTENHAM FANS HAVE BEEN LEFT VERY CONFUSED AFTER THEY RELEASE THEIR EUROPA LEAGUE SQUAD

Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has picked his starting eleven to entertain Qarabag in the Europa League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening.

Postecoglou has eased some of the pressure on him of late and will now try to guide Spurs to a bright start in Europe.

Visitors Qarabag arrive sitting top of the Azerbaijani top flight, having won all five of their games so far.

They dropped into the Europa League after being knocked out in the Champions League qualifiers by Dinamo Zagreb.

Between the sticks this evening for Tottenham is Guglielmo Vicario, while the back four is Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies.

Midfield sees Postecoglou pick Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr, while Lucas Bergvall is also selected. Brennan Johnson and Heung-Min Son support Dominic Solanke.
If the Spurs boss wants to try to influence the game with his substitutes he has options available and they include Pedro Porro and Timo Werner.

We can confirm the starting line-ups and substitutes for our 2024/25 Europa League opener against Qarabağ (kick-off 8pm UK).

Ange Postecoglou has made six changes to the starting side that beat Brentford in the Premier League last time out.

Our return to European competition after a season away sees a number of our starting XI make their debuts on this stage in Guglielmo Vicario, Archie Gray, Micky van de Ven, Lucas Bergvall and Brennan Johnson.

One enforced change sees Radu Dragusin come in for the suspended Cristian Romero – who is serving a one-match ban for his sending off against Milan in the Champions League in 2023 – with Ben Davies and Gray also coming into defence and Yves Bissouma back in midfield.

Amongst our substitutes, young forwards Mikey Moore and the returning Will Lankshear make their maiden matchday squad in Europe.

Our line-up is as follows…

Starting XI: Vicario; Gray, Dragusin, van de Ven, Davies; Bissouma, Sarr, Bergvall; Johnson, Solanke, Son (c).

Substitutes: Forster, Austin, Porro, Udogie, Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski, Moore, Werner, Lankshear.
