Tottenham XI vs Brentford: No Van de Ven - Starting Lineup and Team News
Tottenham Hotspur faces Brentford today in a crucial Premier League matchup, but they are set to do so without Micky van de Ven, who misses out after recently returning from injury. Djed Spence, however, makes his return to the squad.
Latest Injury Updates
Van de Ven's absence is a notable blow for Spurs, especially given his impressive performance following his return from a hamstring injury during Thursday’s win against Elfsborg. Although fans were hopeful for his presence on the short journey to west London for today's match, it appears he still requires more time to fully recover.
In addition to Van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, and Brennan Johnson are among the players sidelined, complicating Spurs' lineup.
Team Selection
In light of these injuries, Tottenham's starting XI is set in a 4-3-3 formation:
- Goalkeeper: Antonin Kinsky
- Defenders: Pedro Porro, Gary, Ben Davies, Djed Spence
- Midfielders: Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski
- Forwards: Troy Moore, Richarlison, Heung-min Son
Substitutes: Austin, Reguilon, Hardy, Cassanova, Pape Matar Sarr, Bergvall, Olusei, Ajayi, Scarlett
Pape Matar Sarr, who struggled in Thursday's match, has now dropped to the bench, while Spence steps back into the team after being unavailable last week due to ineligibility.
