Vincent Janssen leads Tottenham attack

Vincent Janssen has been selected to lead the Tottenham Hotspur attack in Thursday's pre-season clash with Atletico Madrid in Melbourne.

Janssen, who joined Spurs from AZ this summer, will operate through the middle against the Spanish champions, with Erik Lamela and Joshua Onomah selected in the wide positions.

Those that played for their countries at Euro 2016 are still not involved for the Premier League outfit, but there is plenty of experience in the XI in the shape of Michel Vorm, Christian Eriksen and new signing Victor Wanyama.

As for Atletico, an experienced team includes Jan Oblak, Diego Godin, Stefan Savic, Filipe Luis, Gabi and Tiago. Fernando Torres will lead the line for the La Liga outfit, while 20-year-old forward Hector Hernandez Marrero is given the chance to impress in the final third.

Tottenham Hotspur: Vorm; Trippier, Walkes, Carter-Vickers, Yedlin; Wanyama, Winks; Lamela, Eriksen, Onomah; Janssen

Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Vrsaljko, Godin, Savic, Filipe; Gabi, Thomas, Tiago, Saul; Hector; Torres
