This evening’s Europa League match against Hoffenheim is set to kick off at 5:45 PM UK time. Manager Ange Postecoglou has opted for three changes to the squad that faced Everton on Sunday.
Notably, goalkeeper Brandon Austin returns to the starting line-up after a promising debut against Newcastle, where he earned the Player of the Match title. With Antonin Kinsky unavailable, Austin will take up his position once again.
Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur makes his return following a concussion, replacing Pape Matar Sarr, who is sidelined due to injury. Additionally, Richarlison has been given the opportunity to start his second match of the season, stepping in for Djed Spence, who is ineligible for this fixture.
On the bench, the versatile Academy midfielder Dante Cassanova is included in the substitutes, having previously been part of matchday squads for the team’s Europa League outings in Ferencvaros and Galatasaray.
The complete starting line-up for the match is as follows:
Starting XI: Austin; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray; Bentancur, Bergvall, Maddison, Kulusevski, Son (c), Richarlison.
Substitutes: Forster, Whiteman, Hardy, Ajayi, Olusesi, Cassanova, Moore, Lankshear.
This match presents an important opportunity for the Spurs to showcase their depth and resilience, especially with the return of key players. With the team well-prepared, fans will be looking forward to a competitive performance in the Europa League.
