Tottenham XI vs Wolves: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Premier League today
Tottenham wantaway striker Harry Kane is on the bench for today’s clash at Wolves.
Kane has trained with the first-team squad since Tuesday and Nuno Espirito Santo has decided he is fit and focussed enough to be involved.
However, the head coach has ultimately decidde to stick with the same side that beat Manchester City so impressively last Sunday, with Lucas Moura, Heung-min Son and Steven Bergwijn forming an effective trio on the counter-attack.
Elsewhere, Giovani Lo Celso and Harry Winks did little against Pacos de Ferreira on Thursday so Oliver Skipp keeps his place in midfield. Tanguy Ndombele - another who wants to leave - will not feature.
Cristian Romero has not travelled so will have to wait for his full Premier League debut.
