Tottenham’s have handed first starts to both Mikey Moore and Will Lankshear for tonight’s Europa League clash at Ferencvaros.

It is a bold move by Ange Postecoglou, to trust the teenagers from the off in Hungary, alongside the more experienced Timo Werner.

The head coach can comfortably rotate his midfield three, with Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr and Lucas Bergvall returning to the side after starting Spurs’ opening game of the league phase, a 3-0 win over Qarabag last week. But elsewhere, Postecoglou is short of options.

Left-back Destiny Udogie has stayed in London after picking up a muscle injury against Manchester United on Sunday - described by Postecoglou as "nothing significant" - and neither Djed Spence nor Sergio Reguilon are part of the European squad, despite the latter travelling with the team. Ben Davies is therefore starts at left-back.

Radu Dragusin is suspended after his dismissal against Qarabag, but Postecoglou rests Micky van de Ven so Archie Gray fills in as an auxiliary centre-back alongside captain Cristian Romero.
