Spurs team news: Tottenham name five men who won’t play vs Cardiff

Saturday 6th October 2018

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed on their official twitter feed that five first-team players will miss their match against Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.

The showdown with the Welsh side is a big one for Spurs, as they look to continue their solid start to their domestic campaign, and put the misery of their Champions League exploits in midweek behind them.

Although they lost to Barcelona on Wednesday evening, given the players that were missing, Tottenham put up a decent account of themselves, and a repeat of that performance should be enough to gain all three points at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Serge Aurier, Jan Vertonghen, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Moussa Sissoko all missed the match against the Spanish champions in the week, and all five will be out when Cardiff head to London.


Mauricio Pochettino has gone on record as saying that he expects the quintet to be available for his side after the upcoming international break, but that does nothing to help his team when they take on the Welsh outfit.

Their absence is an opportunity for others who might not usually play to come in and succeed. The likes of Davinson Sanchez, Harry Winks and Son Heung-Min will get the chance to impress on the Wembley turf.

One man who is ready to make a return for Pochettino is goalkeeper Michel Vorm. Much has been made about the mental state and the form of Hugo Lloris, so it could be that the former Swansea City stopper gets a chance here, although it is more likely that he will have to make do with a place on the bench.

As ever, all eyes will be on Harry Kane to see if he can find the net before he joins up with England for their UEFA Nations League matches next week.

Who wrote that crap?
Sissoko played in the Barcelona game, it was Dembele who was missing.
