Team News: Harry Kane dropped to bench as Tottenham make seven changes for Fiorentina clash

Kane dropped as Spurs make seven changes

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino appears to have one eye on Sunday's Capital One Cup final against Chelsea as he has made seven changes to his side for tonight's crucial Europa League last-32 second leg against Fiorentina.

Harry Kane, who has netted 24 goals so far this season, has dropped to the bench in Italy, while Roberto Soldado has taken his place up front.

Nacer Chadli, Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela will sit behind the striker, while Nabil Bentaleb and Benjamin Stambouli have been handed spots in midfield.

At the back, Vlad Chiriches, Federico Fazio, Jan Vertonghen and Ben Davies will line up against the Serie A side, while Hugo Lloris keeps his place in goal.

For the hosts, Neto has been recalled in goal due to injury concerns surrounding Ciprian Tatarusanu, while Borja Valero has also been left out.

Mohamed Salah, who is on loan at Fiorentina from Chelsea, has been handed a place in attack.

Fiorentina XI: Neto; Richards, Savic, Basanta, Alonso; Badelj, Pizarro, Fernandez; Joaquin, Gomez, Salah

Tottenham XI: Lloris; Chiriches, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Stambouli; Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela; Soldado
