How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Wolverhampton Wanderers

How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Wolves

Tottenham Hotspur boss Nuno Espirito Santo is yet to make a decision on the possible involvement of Harry Kane in Sunday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Nuno has said that the England captain will train on Saturday, and the head coach will then decide whether the striker, who continues to be linked with Manchester City, is fit enough to be included in the squad.

Joe Rodon and Cameron Carter-Vickers will both be absent due to injuries, while Tanguy Ndombele will not be involved in the squad amid the speculation surrounding his future.

There will be wholesale changes from the side that took to the field for the first leg of their Europa Conference League playoff tie on Thursday, which ended in a 1-0 loss to Pacos de Ferreira.

Even if Kane is declared fit, the forward could start on the bench, with Nuno potentially selecting the same XI that took to the field for last weekend's 1-0 win over Manchester City.

Son Heung-min operated through the middle against the Premier League champions and that could again be the case this weekend, with Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn featuring in the forward areas.

Oliver Skipp was handed a start in the middle of the park against Pep Guardiola's side, meanwhile, and the 20-year-old is likely to retain his spot for the clash at Molineux.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Skipp, Dele; Lucas, Son, Bergwijn
