How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Roma

Tottenham Hotspur will expect to be without Ben Davies for Saturday's I-Tech Cup clash with Jose Mourinho's Roma in Israel.

Antonio Conte recently revealed that the defender - who signed a new contract at the club until 2025 earlier this week - is working his way back from an ankle injury.

Oliver Skipp is also uncertain for the friendly after taking a knock to the foot during a recent training session, but the midfielder is thought to have a better chance of making the cut than Davies.

With Davies out of contention, Davinson Sanchez should fill in alongside Eric Dier and Cristian Romero in front of Hugo Lloris, as Clement Lenglet waits for his chance from the bench.

Lenglet's fellow new signings Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma and Djed Spence were also restricted to the dugout in the recent win over Rangers, with the former still working his way back from a calf injury sustained in his final game for Inter Milan.

Emerson Royal and Ryan Sessegnon will expect to occupy the wing-back areas for Tottenham, as Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur form a tried-and-tested midfield partnership.

Richarlison will miss the opening game of the Premier League season due to suspension, so Conte may elect to hand the Brazilian a start alongside Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, with Dejan Kulusevski dropping down to the bench.

Tottenham possible starting lineup: Lloris; Dier, Romero, Sanchez; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sessegnon; Richarlison, Kane, Son
