How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Wolfsberger in Europa League tie

How Tottenham could line up against Wolfsberger

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to use their Europa League last-32 first leg with Wolfsberger to put an end to their poor run of form.

Spurs have lost five of their last six matches in all competitions, but they enter this clash with Austrian side Wolfsberger as heavy favourites to progress.

Jose Mourinho is under pressure to pick up a positive result at the Puskas Arena, though the Portuguese may still be tempted to rotate his side.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Tottenham could line up on Thursday evening.


Out: Giovani Lo Celso (hamstring), Joe Rodon (ineligible) Doubtful: Sergio Reguilon (muscular), Serge Aurier (calf)

Mourinho has used the Europa League as a chance to give some of his fringe players some minutes, so the likes of Lucas Moura, Dele Alli, Gareth Bale, Carlos Vinicius and Joe Hart are all in contention to start.

Alli has not started a game since the 5-0 FA Cup third-round win against Marine on January 10, and has featured only twice from the bench since.

Vinicius tends to take his chance to shine in the competition, meanwhile, having scored three and assisted three more in the group stage.

Changes can also be expected in defence, though Joe Rodon will not play any part as he was not registered in Tottenham's European squad.

Sergio Reguilon and Serge Aurier are doubtful, which should mean Ben Davies and Matt Doherty starting at full-back.
