Bissouma and Sarr return as Ange makes 2 changes | Predicted Tottenham XI vs Wolves

Tottenham Hotspur will be bidding to put three huge points on the board when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux this afternoon on matchday 32 of the Premier League. With only one win in their previous five fixtures in the English top flight, the Lilywhites have to do much better to finish higher up the table and relieve some pressure off Ange Postecoglou.

Their opponents, on the other hand, are on a winning run of three matches, so they will be tough nuts to crack, especially on their own turf. Having said that, this is how Spurs could line-up for the game.

Goalkeeper – Guglielmo Vicario is expected to be picked ahead of Antonin Kinsky once more in between the sticks.

Defenders – Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie could continue as the right and left full backs, respectively. The latter came off in the Eintracht Frankfurt game on Thursday due to cramps but is expected to be fit for the Wolves meeting.

In the heart of defence, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are both expected to receive the nods with the manager finally being able to count on his preferred defensive pairing.

Two changes in midfield

Midfielders – Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall might both return to the bench after fairly average displays in the UEFA Europa League match midweek. They are likely to be replaced by Yves Bissouma and Pape Mata Sarr as the number six and right midfielder, respectively. James Maddison could keep his place in the team, however, on the left side of the engine room.

Forwards – There are unlikely to be any changes in Tottenham’s front three. Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson could be the left and right wingers, whereas Dominic Solanke could be chosen the lead the line, which means Mathys Tel and Wilson Odobert are both likely to be thrown into the game off the bench.

Here is a look at how the team could look on paper.

Wolves vs Tottenham final injury update as 8 players ruled out

All the latest injury news surrounding Tottenham and Wolves as they prepare to face off in the Premier League.

Tottenham get back to Premier League action on Sunday when they face strugglers Wolves. Spurs drew with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League on Thursday night, and they will head to Germany for the second leg this Thursday.

Ange Postecoglou will want to see his side keep up some momentum here against a Wolves side just one place above the drop zone, albeit with a comfortable gap over the next lowest, Ipswich Town. Here we round up all the final injury news surrounding both teams after each of the pre-match press conferences.

Radu Dragusin – Out

What Tottenham squad could look like vs Wolves without Van de Ven, Maddison, Romero and Udogie - football.london

Dragusin is out for the season with an ACL rupture. Postecoglou confirmed at the time: “Radu underwent surgery today following his ACL injury. That procedure has now been completed, and the centre-back will now commence with his recovery before beginning the rehab process.”

Dejan Kulusevski – Out

Postecoglou said in his pre-match press conference: “He’s trained today with the guys who didn’t play last night. He’s looking good. He won’t be available for Sunday, but the plan is for him to train through this weekend, train with the first team from the beginning of the week and, if he gets through that, he’ll definitely be available for Thursday. Again, it will be unlikely he’ll be able to start, because he’s been out for a while, but he looks really good.”

Kevin Danso – Out

Danso has a hamstring injury, and the Spurs website stated ahead of this game: “Kevin Danso, who looks unlikely to return from his hamstring injury next week.”
